Forecasts

Finian's Oscar (11/4), Wholestone (9/2), The Worlds End (5/1), Beer Goggles (11/2), Thomas Campbell (7/1), Agrapart (9/1), Colin's Sister (10/1), Ex Patriot (20/1), Court Minstrel (33/1), Saint Are (100/1)

Verdict

WHOLESTONE loves it around here, as his form figures suggest and there's every chance he can make it five wins from seven course appearances. Beer Goggles certainly has claims on the bare form of his win against Unowhatimeanharry last time and he's been given time to recover from that career best effort while Colin's Sister is better than her latest start and can't be dismissed if the ground doesn't come up too soft.
