Forecasts

Souriyan (5/2), Forthefunofit (7/2), Morning Royalty (9/2), The Tourard Man (5/1), Allbarnone (7/1), Arthurs Secret (9/1), Old Harry Rocks (14/1), Port Lairge (150/1)

Verdict

If he gets a relatively soft lead again Souriyan would be a danger to all here but he’s never been the most consistent and there’s a nagging doubt that he won’t be able to repeat his Market Rasen form even though he’s only raised 4lb. The Tourad Man has slipped to a handy mark and he can’t be ignored even though he has to give weight to the entire field. The cheekpieces going back on Forthefunofit signal that a big run could be in the offing after he needed the run last time with the yard back amongst the winners. MORNING ROYALTY loves it round here though and despite the 6lb higher mark can take this race again with his Perth run tuning him up nicely for this.
  1. Morning Royalty
  2. Forthefunofit
  3. The Tourard Man
