Forecasts

Ask The Tycoon (6/4), Sheriff Garrett (7/2), Towerburn (6/1), My Liege (17/2), Strike West (14/1), Where Now (14/1), Lostock Hall (20/1), Beyondtemptation (22/1), Wor Verge (28/1), Mah Mate Bob (40/1)

Verdict

An open finale in which the market exchanges could hold relevant clues, with the likes of My Liege and Where Now certainly worth monitoring. Ask The Tycoon has stronger form than the majority of these and also has his optimum conditions, but the solution could possibly come from the other end of the handicap. The tentative advice is the seasonal debutante STRIKE WEST who might conceivably have more in the locker over this trip, having regularly struggled over 2 miles.
  1. Strike West
  2. Ask The Tycoon
  3. Towerburn
