Forecasts

Boher Lad (11/4), Classico Dais (9/2), Red Admirable (9/2), Cheltenam De Vaige (6/1), Riddlestown (7/1), Scartare (9/1), Chankillo (10/1), Foot The Bill (14/1), Lord Landen (14/1), Mahler Bay (16/1), Optical High (25/1), Bus Named Desire (40/1), Part And Parcel (100/1)

Verdict

A very mediocre affair and BOHER LAD can be trusted more than most to run his race, so he gets the vote. Optical High could improve for the fitting of cheekpieces and make the frame, while Cheltenam De Vaige is another such player. A market check is advised regarding Classico Dais, who could turn out to be a fair bit better than his current mark. 1. Boher Lad 2. Optical High 3. Cheltenam De Vaige
