Forecasts

Crystal Casque (3/1), Misu Pete (3/1), Punjab Mail (3/1), Bounty Pursuit (9/2), Jean Valjean (9/2), The Groove (5/1), Miss Elsa (12/1), In The Cove (14/1), Swiper (25/1)

Verdict

Misu Pete comes into the race in top form after repeated respectable efforts and is entitled to go well once again, however the major rise in the handicap now suggests no chances are being taken at this stage while In The Cove is of interest for a yard who rarely fire horses at apprentice handicaps as well as Bounty Pursuit, who has been left on a dangerous mark. Preference is for PUNJAB MAIL, who ran a more than respectable race in a hot York handicap on his latest start and looks on handy mark for an apprentice who has been amongst the winners recently.
  1. Punjab Mail
  2. In The Cove
  3. Misu Pete
