Forecasts

Oscar Ceremony (7/2), Soldier Of Love (4/1), Passam (9/2), Sammylou (5/1), Mauna Kea (5/1), Mr Magill (15/2), Drama King (10/1), Itsaboutime (12/1), Macca's Stowaway (25/1), Doctor Thea (66/1)

Verdict

Sammylou can be seen in a different light following a win at Huntingdon recently and should go well despite a 9lb hike in the ratings for that success. Previous C&D winner Mauna Kea might do better back here after a couple of lesser efforts while Soldier Of Love goes up in distance and has scope to improve. DOCTOR THEA has winning form over shorter trips last summer, but has also shown she'll stay this trip. She's back from a break on stable bow and has a good chance to give claiming rider Stefan Kirwan a first winner under rules.
  1. Doctor Thea
  2. Sammylou
  3. Soldier Of Love
