Forecasts

Black Mischief (9/2), Rhythm Is A Dancer (11/2), Wait For Me (6/1), William Henry (6/1), Padleyourowncanoe (13/2), Fortunate George (7/1), Coeur Blimey (8/1), Monbeg Theatre (9/1), Mr Clarkson (11/1), Darcy Ward (14/1), Whatthebutlersaw (16/1), Coole Cody (20/1)

Verdict

A cracking contest in which cases can be made for most of the runners, not least top-weight William Henry from last year's winning stable and, at the other end of the handicap, Rhythm Is A Dancer. However, both will do well to match strides with BLACK MISCHIEF, who won a good prize at Haydock last time despite not getting the clearest of runs and has the services of a very useful claimer. Mr Clarkson is interesting on his return to action.
  1. Black Mischief
  2. William Henry
  3. Rhythm Is A Dancer
