Forecasts

Crossed My Mind (3/1), Oxwich Bay (10/3), Jenkins (5/1), Le Breuil (6/1), Night Of Sin (7/1), Air Horse One (14/1), Jabulani (14/1), Burbank (16/1), Man Of Plenty (16/1), Caid Du Lin (20/1), Vivas (25/1), Whatmore (25/1), Monty's Award (33/1), Thorpe (50/1)

Verdict

It was only a maiden hurdle that Oxwich Bay won last time, but he looks progressive and has each-way prospects off his low weight. Crossed My Mind may be able to turn round Sandown form with Caid du Lin and Night Of Sin hails from a yard in cracking form, but this looks all about JENKINS, who finally went some way to justifying his tall reputation at Kempton last time. The blinkers he wore for the first time are retained and, although up 11llb, he has the services of his top 5lb claimer who has played a starring role for this stable in recent weeks. Of the outsiders, Whatmore may be worth a second glance.
  1. Jenkins
  2. Oxwich Bay
  3. Crossed My Mind
