Forecasts

Billy Hicks (15/8), Sackett (9/4), Commodore (5/1), Transient Bay (8/1), Lord County (10/1), Mr Fitzroy (14/1)

Despite the small field, not easy to solve, and sorting out the likely pacemaker might prove the key to the race. On that score, SACKETT, who battled on in game fashion at Hereford, might be the most likely winner. He's improving and can go in again before the handicapper starts to get a grip with him. Transient Bay comes alive at Uttoxeter and can simply never be ruled out here. Billy Hicks is solid as well but a market move for Mr Fitzroy would need taking note of.
