Forecasts

Longtown (9/2), The Ogle Gogle Man (9/2), Under The Phone (11/2), Dance Floor King (6/1), Kilinakin (7/1), Astracad (9/1), Conna Cross (12/1), By The Boardwalk (12/1), Turban (14/1), Bestwork (16/1)

Verdict

A rather mixed bag and although there are some who are well handicapped on their old form they will need to bounce back to some better form to take advantage. Longtown stands out as the one most likely to take a step forward after two promising chase efforts but his stable remain rather quiet. The Ogle Goggle Man produced a decent effort over fences on his debut but needs to show more than he did last time with the blinkers going on for the first time. Conna Cross could make an impression but his mark looks rather onerous so a chance is taken with UNDER THE PHONE who features off a good mark and with his last run likely to have brought him on after a long break.
  1. Under The Phone
  2. Conna Cross
  3. Longtown
