Forecasts

Ring Eye (4/1), The Lion Man (9/2), Beautiful People (11/2), West To Crossgales (11/2), Flying Verse (6/1), Charlie Cook (15/2), Monty Massini (12/1), Fled Or Pled (12/1), Copt Hill (25/1), Rough Justice (50/1)

Verdict

Most of these have been struggling for form or are inconsistent, so a tentative vote goes to RING EYE who was runner-up here last time out and should go close with a similar effort. Flying Verse won here two starts back then looked decidely roguish at Worcester but the return to this venue may suit, and a similar comment re the track applies to The Lion Man. The jockey booking catches the eye on Beautiful People, while the drop in grade may aid top weight Charlie Cook.
  1. Ring Eye
  2. Flying Verse
