Forecasts

Sleep Easy (4/5), Ain't My Fault (5/4), Flowery (13/8), Kitty Fisher (16/1)

Verdict

A race which makes minimal appeal for punting purposes. Sleep Easy is an infrequent winner. However, it's still early days over fences and thankfully for his connections he doesn't face another Paul Nicholls-trained runner on this occasion. Ain't My Fault should be suited by the switch to the larger obstacles (debut), but unbeaten over fences so far (2-2) the soundest advice is to stick with the once quirky (now more straightforward) front-runner FLOWERY.
  1. Flowery
