Forecasts

Shepherd's Purse (15/8), Amor Kethley (11/2), Great Suspense (6/1), Longroom (7/1), Dark Side Dream (17/2), Aquadabra (11/1), Kath's Lustre (16/1), Angel Force (18/1), Equally Fast (20/1), Coronation Cottage (25/1), Red Invader (50/1)

Verdict

Shepherd's Purse won with authority over C&D last week and has to be respected. However, a chance is taken that a 5lb turnabout in the weights can assist LONGROOM is his bid to reverse the form with Ruth Carr's gelding. This will be the third time the pair have encountered each other in the last month and the terms of the race give the selection a good chance of coming out on top this time. Aquadabra is an interesting one to bear in mind from the foot of the handicap while a bold effort from Amor Kethley would also be dangerous to rule out. The unexposed Great Suspense adds further spice to Wolverhampton's curtain raiser.
