Forecasts

Ship Of The Fen (5/2), Born At Midnight (5/2), Whitechurch (5/1), Family Pot (6/1), Spotty Dog (6/1), Staple Head (12/1), Alderson (22/1), Nyoufsea (100/1)

Verdict

SHIP OF THE FEN has yet to build on his promising start over fences but his latest third at Fakenham was at least respectable and he's been given a chance by the handicapper. Stable Head needs treating with caution but is a potential threat at this level, while Whitechurch showed an aptitude for chasing at Sedgefield.

  1. SHIP OF THE FEN
