Forecasts

Hurricane Rita (10/3), Walsingham Grange (7/2), Cubswin (4/1), Gin And Tonic (9/2), Towering (9/2), Aza Run (9/2), General Bux (7/1), The Blue Bomber (15/2), Ataman (14/1)

Not the easiest race to read with a few who could bounce back to form and look well treated in hindsight. Without that knowledge, however, the suggestion is ATAMAN. One of three in the field saddled by Olly Murphy, he has the champion up for this handicap debut and could do much better now he goes handicapping. Walsingham Grange is more exposed but very much respected from today's mark, while Towering could go well but find a couple too good. Hurricane Rita is another to consider along with the juvenile Cubswin. Keep an eye on General Bux in the market too.
