In depth
Verdict
Forecast goes well fresh and has won around here so is worth a market check but Dandy Mag was well beaten at Newton Abbot on Saturday. Isthebaropen may be a few pounds too high at present so the vote goes to COLLEGE OAK, who may get his own way out in front today. Taste The Fear won off a higher mark at Market Rasen last summer but hasn’t run since December.
