Forecasts

Ontopoftheworld (11/8), King Muro (3/1), Vino's Choice (7/2), Lough Kent (7/1), Mumgos Debut (11/1)

A poor numerical turnout with Lucinda Russell responsible for 40% of those declared; doubly represented by Mumgos Debut and Vino's Choice. However, this looks to lie between the dropped back in trip King Muro and the slightly fortuitous, albeit decisive Stratford winner ONTOPOFTHEWORLD. With no strong preference for either horse, and little between the pair in the weights (just 1lb), the safest option is to side with the likely market leader.
