Forecasts

First Assignment (11/10), Captain Cattistock (7/2), Paisley Park (4/1), Bobo Mac (7/1), Folsom Blue (11/1), Theo's Charm (12/1), Shades Of Midnight (20/1), Milrow (50/1)

Verdict

It is hard to get away from the improving FIRST ASSIGNMENT, whose runaway Cheltenham success over this trip last week suggests that he can defy a 5lb penalty and complete a hat-trick. Paisley Park and Captain Cattistock could both make a race of it, while Shades Of Midnight is not out of it, and Folsom Blue is also respected.
