Forecasts

Mortlach (10/11), Stag Horn (13/8), Fusain (9/2)

MORTLACH will surely find Stag Horn too hot to handle on these terms should that rival perform to something close to his best. However, Archie Watson's representative needs to bounce back following a tame reappearance display in the Lanzarote at Kempton and he's unproven over fences. Conversely, Mortlach arrives here in good form and he's a safe conveyance with a good strike rate in this sphere, so he is preferred. Fusain looks up against it at the weights back in novice company.
