Forecasts

American Life (9/4), Cougar Kid (9/2), Tudors Treasure (5/1), Lady Mix (13/2), Arden Denis (7/1), Somerset Jem (10/1), The Draconian (10/1), Tailor Tom (12/1), Libby T Valance (12/1), Young Lou (25/1), Prince Kup (100/1)

Verdict

This could work out to be a reasonably competitive event and TAILOR TOM is the suggestion. Donald McCain's six-year-old looks to be on a workable mark for his handicap debut and this step up in trip ought to be within his compass. American Life looks sure to be competitive again, while Young Lou has the right sort of credentials to make an impact. Lady Mix, Arden Denis, Tudors Treasure and Libby T Valance are others to consider.
