Forecasts

Abington Park (9/4), Trumps Benefit (5/2), For Jim (4/1), Wherewouldugetit (11/1), On We Go (12/1), Ever So Much (14/1), Para Queen (16/1), Bobbie The Dazzler (28/1), New Delhi Express (28/1), Bayfriars Bobby (33/1), Uknowmymeaning (150/1)

Verdict

The likeable FOR JIM looks capable of defying a 6 lb rise for his latest success at Cartmel, which represented a new personal best for this 9-y-o. Next on the list is dual chase winner Trumps Benefit, who resumes in this sphere on a workable mark. Abington Park and Wherewouldugetit can do battle for minor honours.
