Forecasts

Lazarus (7/2), Danglydontask (7/2), Casa Comigo (5/1), War Drums (7/1), Hiorne Tower (8/1), Essgee Nics (10/1), Joycetick (10/1), Sea's Aria (14/1), Seventii (16/1), Ormskirk (16/1), Everlasting Sea (20/1), Ginger Lacey (25/1), Duration (25/1)

Verdict

Hard to make compelling cases for many of these. Danglydontask stays every yard of this trip and will be staying on when others have had enough. He looks sure to be there at the business end. Ormskirk will think he's been let loose in a field having humped bigger weights around in hurdles, and he holds each-way chances, as does Lazarus who has show some signs of life in recent starts. But a chance is taken on ESSGEE NICS, who remains fairly unexposed and rattled home when it was all over here last time out. If making a move sooner, he might be able to outstay these.
  1. Essgee Nics
  2. Danglydontask
  3. Lazarus
