Forecasts

Talktomenow (11/10), Ratfacemcdougall (15/8), New Quay (11/4), Imperial Elysian (4/1), Tarrona (11/1), Oyster Perch (50/1), Plenty Of Butty (66/1)

Question marks over all the main protagonists and guessing who is going to overcome them to score is not easy. Talktomenow has a really good effort against Getaway Trump to his name and a repeat of that is probably good enough to take this, but two lesser efforts since that run are worrying, and the addition of cheekpieces looks more in hope than anything. Ratfacemcdougall's Doncaster win looks a bit suspect, and New Quay has work to do under a penalty, so IMPERIAL ELYSIAN gets the vote. This longer trip should help and you an expect improvement for it. With so many question marks flying about, both Tarrona and Oyster Perch can be given place chances.
