Forecasts

Captain Cattistock (8/11), Here's Herbie (4/1), Hurricane Hollow (8/1), Justification (8/1), On The Road (10/1)

Verdict

CAPTAIN CATTISTOCK did the job nicely here last time and although the handicapper has taken the form fairly literally for this opening handicap mark, it looks workable and there's bound to be improvement to come. He can take this at the expense of Hurricane Hollow, who is refinding his form and will be a danger if reproducing his Sandown effort. Justification may be best of the rest, but a bit of money for Here's Herbie may need noting.
  1. Captain Cattistock
  2. Hurricane Hollow
  3. Justification
