Forecasts

Western Way (3/1), Ruler Of The Nile (4/1), Hewouldwouldnthe (5/1), Too Many Shots (6/1), Breslin (10/1), Roy Rocket (10/1), Rahmah (14/1), Heron (14/1), Buyer Beware (16/1), Guards Chapel (25/1), Quebec (25/1), Night Generation (25/1)

Verdict

WESTERN WAY represnts a very shrewd yard and appeared to have something in hand when scoring at Chelmsford last time. He might prove hard to beat in this finale. In the first-time visor Ruler Of The Nile might give the selection a race, and another worth a look is Heron, whose yard is in good form at the moment. Hewouldwouldnthe and Guards Chapel are others with place prospects, if in the mood.
  1. Western Way
