Forecasts

Lisp (11/8), Knocknanuss (5/2), Must Havea Flutter (8/1), Dream Baie (12/1), Mere Ironmonger (14/1), Now Listen Here (16/1), East Wing (16/1), Not A Role Model (20/1), Havisham (25/1), Rebel Collins (25/1), Paddy's Poem (33/1), Thames Knight (33/1), Montycristo (66/1), Canyouhearmenow (66/1)

Verdict

Not a lot of depth to this opener and perhaps the juvenile LISP can improve on his decent Fontwell debut and see off these older opponents in receipt of plenty of weight. Knockanuss is a proven winner who will go on the ground, so despite top weight you have to respect his chance, while stablemate Now Listen Here could be very competitive if handling this ground and Must Havea Flutter and Paddy's Poem are others who could make an impact.
  1. Lisp
  2. Now Listen Here
  3. Must Havea Flutter
