Forecasts

Midnight Cowboy (2/1), Cut The Corner (4/1), Reilly's Minor (5/1), Petrou (6/1), Newton Geronimo (13/2), Degooch (8/1), One Term (9/1), Marquis Of Carabas (16/1)

Verdict

Reilly's Minor might be allowed an easy time of it on the front end but he comes with all sorts of risks after a couple of mediocre efforts, and preference is for MIDNIGHT COWBOY . His third to Alcala got a boost when that one took a Listed event at Market Rasen next time and from the same mark, may be able to get back on the winning trail. Degooch did it well last time but a hefty rise in the weights demands more today. He may find the selection that bit better handicapped. Cut The Corner and the enigmatic Newton Geronimo are others to consider.
  1. Midnight Cowboy
  2. Degooch
  3. Cut The Corner
