Forecasts

The Crazed Moon (11/8), Carlingford Prince (5/1), Snougar (11/2), Takemeback (6/1), Angel's Envy (9/1), Steel Yard (10/1), Relkadam (12/1), Going Mobile (16/1)

Verdict

Three of the eight declared runners are returning from wind surgery, including Donald McCain's chasing newcomer Snougar. The suspicion is that this race won't take a great deal of winning, so it wouldn't necessarily be a great surprise to see him involved at the finish. However, the safer option is probably THE CRAZED MOON. Although weak at the finish over a longer trip on debut for Michael Scudamore at Market Rasen (2m3½f, good to soft) four weeks ago, she should prove capable of winning a race of this nature (over 2m).
  1. The Crazed Moon
  2. Carlingford Prince
