Forecasts

Havana Jack (7/2), Smiling Jessica (9/2), Attention Please (5/1), Misfits (11/2), So Satisfied (17/2), More Madness (17/2), Under The Red Sky (12/1), Dutch Canyon (14/1), Court Painter (25/1), Captain Sharpe (50/1), Nelly La Rue (66/1)

Perfectly fair to say that this isn't the strongest of events, and that is best demonstrated by the fact that the infrequent winner So Satisfied carries top-weight. A few of these horses have clashed against each other recently, including Smiling Jessica and Misfits (first and second over C&D on New Years Day), and the hat-trick seeker Attention Please and More Madness (fought out a protracted battle at Catterick in late December). With no clear standout angle on offer, small stakes are advised on the improving former Hunter Chaser HAVANA JACK. This dual Kelso scorer also boasts C&D experience, and residing from a handy mark, might just prove toughest of all when the chips are well and truly thrown down.
