Forecasts

Magic Mike (4/1), Hashtag Lord (4/1), Heros De Moutiers (9/2), Friary Rock (5/1), Wonderweasle (5/1), Budarri (15/2), Okavango Delta (10/1), Ingleby Mackenzie (25/1), Edmond Dantes (25/1)

Verdict

It could be worth chancing FRIARY ROCK, who took a step back in the right direction at Huntingdon last time and is now 5 lb below his last winning mark. Heros de Moutiers and Budarri head the dangers.

  1. FRIARY ROCK (FR)
  2. HEROS DE MOUTIERS (FR)
