Missfit⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: N J Gifford

Minella Youngy²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: L P Dempsey| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 111

11/2

Forecasts

Chavez (13/8), Sam's The Man (3/1), Ron Burgundy (10/3), Minella Youngy (11/2), Vengeance (14/1), Tommy Tracey (22/1), Shalott (33/1), Telleroftales (66/1), Missfit (125/1), Broadoak (200/1)

CHAVEZ and Minella Young were both well held last time but they set the standard on previous form, with marginal preference for the Nicholls inmate now down slightly in trip. Sam's The Man is also capable of getting involved.
