Forecasts

Double W's (7/4), Oak Vintage (3/1), Sudski Star (6/1), Chain Of Beacons (6/1), Applaus (8/1), Ifandbutwhynot (9/1), Brave Spartacus (28/1)

Double W's is essentially far better than these rivals, and with his trainer in excellent form over the past few days with winners at Hexham and Ayr could prove a handicap blot assuming that his recent run (at Ayr) has helped bring him back into shape. However, SUDSKI STAR is in excellent order and with a strong course record on quick ground is confidently expected to once more have the measure of old foe Ifandbutwhynot. The likes of Oak Vintage and Chain Of Beacons are respected, but slightly out of their depth in this contest.
