Forecasts

Otto Oyl (11/4), Divine Connection (5/1), Willing To Please (11/2), Odd Socks Havana (11/2), Krystal Maze (15/2), Amalfi Salsa (8/1), Paddy Elliott (9/1), Rocket Dancer (10/1), Iron Sheriff (14/1), Susie Javea (33/1), Stoney Lane (40/1), Kodimoor (50/1), Upalnitetogetlucky (50/1), Big Dutchie (150/1), Outofthegloom (200/1)

Verdict

A low-mileage profile gives OTTO OYL the scope to build on his breakthrough success at Southwell so a 2 lb rise may not stop him. Odd Socks Havana has done very well on AW since joining Rebecca Menzies and will be a threat if showing up in similar form back on turf. Willing To Please ran quite well at Beverley a couple of weeks ago and is also respected with Ryan Sexton good value for his 7 lb claim. Amalfi Salsa completes the shortlist.

  1. OTTO OYL
  2. ODD SOCKS HAVANA
  3. WILLING TO PLEASE
