Forecasts

Mrs Dibble (7/2), Cobra Eye (9/2), Tawtheef (6/1), Merlin's Mission (6/1), Tommytwohoots (7/1), Split Elevens (10/1), The King's Steed (11/1), Vitesse Du Son (12/1), Elusif (18/1), Arlo's Sunshine (20/1), Caesonia (25/1), Beryl The Peril (28/1), Sea Fern (33/1), Gems Jewel (50/1), All In The Game (66/1)

Another modest contest in which it could be worth chancing MERLIN'S MISSION. He finally showed some ability at Kempton last time having endured a rough passage in a 0-65 handicap. Dropping into a 0-55 today, he could spring a bit of a surprise. Tommytwohoots and Tawtheef would go close on their best form but their records are hardly inspiring.
