Forecasts

Stoney Mountain (1/3), Seemingly So (4/1), Golden Whisky (10/1), Saturdaynightfever (20/1), Invisible Clouds (50/1), Hill Of Keash (50/1), Newlands Cross (125/1), Mid Day Gun (125/1)

Essentially quite a weak contest with the majority of these bound for low-grade handicap hurdles once they gain a mark. There are a couple of above-average prospects in the line up though with both penalised runners STONEY MOUNTAIN and Seemingly So capable of more than they have achieved so far. The former of that duo is given a narrow vote on account of his experience and the fact that this course may suit him slightly better. Golden Whisky should be better suited by this trip and he and Saturdaynightfever are the two that should contend for the minor place.
