Forecasts

Big Brave Bob (5/2), Feebs (11/4), Wrenthorpe (6/1), Life For Rent (8/1), Equitant (10/1), Undercover Brother (14/1), Mosseyb (16/1), Magic Pulse (16/1), Tiger Lyon (20/1), Bahuta Acha (25/1)

Verdict

EQUITANT is taken to make a winning handicap and seasonal debut on his first start since being gelded. The selection is a C&D winner already having won here on debut and looks capable of getting the better of Feebs who's best form has come on a surface softer than is forecast here. Magic Pulse was in good form on the AW during the winter and she can finish third on her return to turf.
  1. Equitant
