Forecasts

Un Prophete (9/4), Political Quiz (9/2), Thatchers Gold (7/1), Hollywood All Star (15/2), Restraint of Trade (10/1), Orthodox Lad (11/1), Trapper Peak (14/1), Edward Elgar (16/1), Honey Pound (25/1), Benbecula (25/1), Miss Benefitz (33/1), Clock On Tom (50/1)

Verdict

Miss Benefitz did a bit too much out in front on her previous start at Southwell but can go well for new yard now if settling better. Un Prophete has been consistent but is expensive enough to follow at this stage and has yet to convince he'll complete the job. Hollywood All Star ran respectably at Haydock mast month and should strip fitter here but the vote goes to POLITICAL QUIZ after a promising return to action at Fontwell last month. He's on a workable mark and has a good man on his back once more this afternoon. 1. Political Quiz 2. Un Prophete 3. Miss Benefitz
