Forecasts

Mystic Flight (13/8), Maverick Officer (3/1), Ulshaw Bridge (5/1), Highlight Reel (9/1), Whinmoor (11/1), Pettifogger (12/1), Picture No Sound (20/1), Los Camachos (33/1)

Conditions (forecast easy ground) are a worry for any number of these runners, with only MAVERICK OFFICER and the more recently disappointing Picture No Sound holding any previous UK form on good to soft or soft ground. Therefore, we'll keep things relatively simple and side with the David Simcock-trained horse. Both he and Ulshaw Bridge have shown improvement since meeting at Haydock in June and from identical weights today (neck apart) would be tough to split - but for the ground conditions. Mystic Flight is another progressive type to consider if he fully adapts to the cut underfoot, whilst Pettifogger makes his first appearance in England.
