Forecasts

Kingthistle (11/4), Theos Lolly (3/1), Gulf Of Poets (7/2), Sugarloaf Mountain (7/2), Indy (6/1), Giantstepsahead (8/1), Melabi (10/1), Ravenhoe (10/1), Bit Of A Quirke (14/1), Framley Garth (14/1), Le Deluge (14/1), Silver Alliance (20/1), We'll Shake Hands (25/1), Clayton Hall (33/1)

Verdict

Admittedly, following Indy has proved an expensive pursuit, but John Quinn is well capable of turning things around and the six-year-old has his easiest task ever, so if there is support for him it could be significant. Nonetheless CLAYTON HALL appeals both as a fresh horse and in first-time headgear and he is preferred. Le Deluge, Kingthistle and Gulf Of Poets are others likely to be in the shake-up.
  1. Clayton Hall
  2. Kingthistle
  3. Gulf Of Poets
