Forecasts

Holryale (11/8), Jackblack (3/1), My Brother (7/2), Romanor (5/1), Monday Club (5/1), East Indies (9/1)

Verdict

Jackblack has a good record here and ran above this mark when gaining his most recent C&D success. That said his current wellbeing has to be questioned following two weak efforts and he may not get things all his own way up front with Holyrale in opposition. The Skelton runner is consistent and remains feasibly treated as is Monday Club. He is not easy to win with but has a lot going for him here and makes more appeal than East Indies. A chance is taken on MY BROTHER who was a decent performer on the level and who has had two runs this summer which should have taught him plenty and which leave him on an attractive mark.
