Forecasts

Absolutely Fine (9/4), Faerie Cutlass (10/3), Ginger Jonny (6/1), Rubys Reward (13/2), Prince De Juilley (8/1), Propelled (10/1), Pooch (11/1), Newtonian (16/1), Maska Du Morvan (33/1), Mac's Xpress (66/1), The Last Melon (200/1)

Verdict

If there is one of these who is better than their current mark it's surely ABSOLUTELY FINE, who shaped well when third on his handicap debut at Worcester last month and he can be expected to build on that here. Faerie Cutlass gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Rubys Reward.

  1. ABSOLUTELY FINE (IRE)
  2. FAERIE CUTLASS
  3. RUBYS REWARD
