Forecasts

King Otis (11/8), Samatian (6/1), Libor Lad (9/1), Smart Casual (11/1), Henry Box Brown (12/1), Kenny George (14/1), She Has Notions (16/1), Footloose Man (18/1), Boys Of Wexford (18/1), Passing Kate (22/1), Whynotnowroy (25/1), Rock On Tommy (25/1), Merry Dreamer (28/1), Gaia Vallis (33/1), Harthill (50/1), Mister Upton (50/1)

Verdict

There were signs that SMART CASUAL was getting the hang of things when last seen in a Wincanton maiden in April and, with improvement anticipated now pitched into a handicap, he gets the nod. King Otis looks a big threat under a penalty following his recent winning debut for this yard at Plumpton, while Samatian, who was a C&D winner on his reappearance last season, is also high on the shortlist. Kenny George and Passing Kate are live each-way candidates.

  1. SMART CASUAL
  2. KING OTIS (IRE)
  3. SAMATIAN (IRE)
