Forecasts

Morning With Ivan (11/4), Wot A Shot (7/2), Kelpies Myth (5/1), Excellent Result (11/2), Alphabetical Order (7/1), Nendrum (17/2), Raise A Spark (17/2), Dakota Grey (10/1), Jet Master (14/1)

Verdict

Not an easy race to assess with the inclusion of the top-weight Excellent Result (also declared to race at Newmarket). Raise A Spark looks like he has been targeted at this race after a pleasing, but ultimately fruitless effort in the 2017 renewal and should be cherry-ripe following a spin around Ludlow. Wot A Shot is a solid performer at Perth and will relish conditions, but we'll opt to look no further than the thriving mare MORNING WITH IVAN who continues to go from strength to strength for Otterburn handler Susan Corbett.
