Forecasts

Wiley Post (13/8), Essaka (11/4), King Crimson (7/2), Red Alert (9/2), Big Lachie (5/1), Entertaining Ben (11/2)

Previous course and distance winner KING CRIMSON gets a narrow vote in a tight-knit sprint handicap having been in fine form of late. He is still fairly wieghted on the pick of his past efforts. Depending on how Essaka fairs at Chepstow on Wednesday he would be a contender here having been in great heart of late, but two runs in 24 hours isn't ideal. Big Lachie is respected but has gone up in the weights, but Wiley Post - one of three Tony Carroll runners in this six-runner field - would have a proper chance if he handles this unique track on this first visit. Entertaining Ben can't be ruled out of the equation either after going close last time out.
