Forecasts

Topofthecotswolds (6/4), Shoal Bay (3/1), For Good Measure (7/2), Play The Ace (5/1), Fingerontheswitch (10/1)

Although Play The Ace has been successful over C&D four times before his recent form leaves him short of the level needed to take this. TOPOFTHECOTSWOLDS conversely is a contender very much on the up having proven himself over C&D last time (his second course win). The handicapper has raised him 10lb but he’s looked as though he can cope with that impost as he goes in search of a hat-trick. Shoal Bay showed his good side last time at Worcester scoring by an impressive 7L but he’s not guaranteed to produce that sort of form again. For Good Measure returns from a wind op and the biggest danger is likely to be Fingerontheswitch who should be competitive off this sort of mark.
