Forecasts

The Butcher Said (6/4), Monkey Puzzle (13/8), Deputy Jones (5/2)

Three runners but all three make some appeal. The Butcher Said has found some form but he's got to concede 7lb to Monkey Puzzle and a whopping 21lb to DEPUTY JONES, who is a mare with plenty of size about her and her third over C&D last time is a decent enough first effort. If she can take a step forward on that, she can make that weight concession count. Monkey Puzzle is no back number either after a good win at Southwell, and this is a tricky little puzzle to solve.
