Forecasts

De Rasher Counter (11/4), Hogan's Height (9/2), Touch Kick (6/1), Town Parks (6/1), Conna Cross (13/2), Creep Desbois (10/1), Calipto (14/1), Enjoy Responsibly (25/1), Opening Batsman (25/1), Too Many Diamonds (25/1), Dusky Lark (40/1)

Verdict

The ease in grade for TOO MANY DIAMONDS may provide another slice of good fortune for Dan Skelton's tough-as-teak gelding, who edges the nomination as the one to on here. Creep Desbois and De Rasher Counter are a couple of others with leading claims in this company, while a downpour of rain would also aid the cause for Conna Cross, who is respected despite propping up the handicap today.
  1. Too Many Diamonds
  2. Creep Desbois
  3. De Rasher Counter
