Forecasts

Crackle Lyn Rosie (11/4), She's A Novelty (11/4), Valentine's Turf (16/5), Gyllen (11/2), Wisecracker (9/1), Easkey Lad (12/1), Out By Six (14/1), Telekinetic (16/1), Sure I'm Your Man (16/1), Fraterculus (33/1), The Come Back Dude (66/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few but the most persuasive one is for VALENTINE'S TURF who should really benefit from this stiffer test of stamina after his staying-on Taunton third and can open his account. She's A Novelty is feared most off a slipping mark, although both Gyllen and Out By Six can have a say too in an open handicap.

  1. VALENTINE'S TURF (FR)
  2. SHE'S A NOVELTY (IRE)
  3. GYLLEN (USA)
