Forecasts

Blow Your Horn (11/10), Murhib (11/4), Desert Friend (9/2), Pearl Beach (6/1), Top Power (66/1), King's Proctor (100/1)

A very trappy handicap in which it's difficult to separate four of the six runners. MURHIB is thriving with racing at the moment with two recent C&D victories and he makes most appeal with Oisin Murphy on board. Pearl Beach was progressive at the end of last year and he rates as the main danger. Blow Your Horn and Desert Friend can't be ruled out either in an open race.
