Forecasts

Mujassam (10/3), Steelriver (5/1), Di Matteo (5/1), Lucky Lodge (6/1), Zapper Cass (13/2), Duke Cosimo (8/1), Harry Beau (9/1), The Groove (16/1), Penniesfromheaven (28/1)

LUCKY LODGE ran well in a handicap here last time out and granted a clear run he is taken to reverse form with a couple of his rivals here from a similar race to this last month. The selection is taken to get the better of top weight Mujassam who has been running well in recent starts while third place can go to Steelriver who ran well when runner-up on his penultimate outing.
