Forecasts

The Craftymaster (10/11), Virtual Hug (9/2), Baileys Warrior (7/1), Steel Helmet (7/1), The Resdev Way (15/2), Limelight (20/1), Defence Treaty (25/1), Silver Bobbin (66/1), Bateau Bay (80/1)

Verdict

THE CRAFTYMASTER opened his account over a staying trip here last time and looks well placed to defy a 2 lb higher mark. Virtual Hug scored over C&D in November and produced another good effort last time, so looks capable of getting in the mix again, alongside Baileys Warrior, who chased the selection home on their previous meeting.

  1. THE CRAFTYMASTER
