Forecasts

Newtide (5/6), Johanos (2/1), Secret Reprieve (10/3)

Tactics could play a big part in this trappy three-runner affair, but it seems likely that Johanos will try to make all. He went close under a similar ride last time. Chasing debutant NEWTIDE is narrowly preferred though and should relish underfoot conditions. He represents a stable in good form, while Secret Reprieve is not out of this and the longer trip may well bring about improvement.
