Forecasts

Boldmere (2/1), Singlefarmpayment (4/1), Jersey Bean (5/1), Manofthemountain (5/1), Give Me A Copper (13/2), Rocky's Treasure (17/2), Chidswell (17/2), Skipthecuddles (12/1), Looking Well (14/1), Sizing Codelco (40/1)

Verdict

A useful handicap but BOLDMERE looks primed to go very close after his encouraging Bangor fourth so is fancied to add to his C&D victory last term. Jersey Bean is on a roll so feared most despite taking a 10 lb hike for his stylish Exeter victory, while the returning Give Me A Copper shouldn't be underestimated after a wind op and veteran Looking Well is worth considering too.

  1. BOLDMERE
  2. JERSEY BEAN (IRE)
  3. GIVE ME A COPPER (IRE)
