Forecasts

How's My Friend (11/4), Spirit Of Hale (7/2), Finish The Story (5/1), Some Finish (6/1), Black Franks Angel (7/1), Lickpenny Larry (8/1), Badilou (10/1), Onurbike (33/1), Canyouhearmenow (33/1)

Verdict

Johnny Farrelly saddles both Black Franks Angel and Finish The Story. It is possible to make cases for both and the market should be informative as either could improve on their latest starts. How's My Friend and Some Finish like this track, whilst Lickpenny Larry appeared to be going the right way last time. Spirit Of Hale relished the stiffer test last time, but BADILOU appeals as a more likely winner. His best performance came last time and more should be forthcoming on this stiffer right-handed circuit.
  1. Badilou
  2. Spirit Of Hale
  3. Lickpenny Larry
