Forecasts

Homesick Boy (11/4), Cheng Gong (10/3), Ezzrah (7/2), Social City (8/1), Ignatius (8/1), Mr Fox (14/1), Last Enchantment (14/1), Carvelas (16/1), Necoleta (20/1), Sexy Secret (33/1), Big Bang (66/1)

Verdict

HOMESICK BOY is holding his form well and, as he already holds a few of these (and is 1lb ahead of the handicapper), he looks to have been found a decent opening to add to his tally. The trip and surface are ideal for the selection and he is taken to have too many guns for the likes of Ezzrah and Cheng Chog, who are both capable at this level and might have more to offer. Similar comments apply to the unexposed Social City, who makes his Chelmsford debut on a reasonably attractive mark and will be thereabouts if he gets the trip.
