Forecasts

Peter The Mayo Man (5/2), Imperial Presence (7/2), Ashoka (5/1), Vaniteux (5/1), Work In Progress (7/1), Max Ward (10/1), Red Spinner (16/1), Eastlake (25/1)

Vaniteux may run well in what looks an easier race than his recent assignments, while Imperial Presence ran fairly well at Newbury last time and hasn't been able to show his best over the past couple of years. However, preference is for PETER THE MAYO MAN. Having easily justified short-priced favouritism at Southwell last time out he makes his handicap chase debut here off what looks a workable mark, and could develop into a candidate for better handicaps over fences in time.
