Forecasts
Padleyourowncanoe (2/1), Fidux (3/1), Here's Herbie (4/1), Canelie (10/1), Bandsman (10/1), Holdbacktheriver (11/1), Blairs Cove (14/1), Rejaah (20/1)
A tough race to solve despite being the smallest field of the afternoon. Fidux met much stronger rivals than these at Sandown when fourth in a Listed contest last month, but he has a fraction to prove (stamina wise) over this 2m3f trip. Blairs Cove should appreciate dropping back from 3m at Doncaster, and appears the pick of the Skelton representatives, but the race probably revolves around Padleyourowncanoe and HERE'S HERBIE. The selection is effectively a winner without a penalty following his unfortunate Exeter fall, and although well and truly put in his place by the Colin Tizzard new recruit over C&D last month, that race was his first start since April, and he does recommence battle on much healthier terms today.
