Forecasts

Black Tears (8/11), Feelin' Groovy (5/2), Von Humboldt (5/1), Welsh Pearl (25/1), Mahler Supreme (25/1)

Feelin' Groovy has both the form and the experience in the bank, but it's not unbeatable form by any means and preference is for Gordon Elliott's newcomer BLACK TEARS, bred to do well at the jumping game and the yard's good win percentage with their bumper horses here swings the vote her way. Von Humboldt looks the other to consider, and money for him would be a big clue as to his chance.
