Forecasts

Sebastian's Wish (5/2), Mr Sundowner (9/2), Mrs Biggs (6/1), Surround Sound (7/1), Star Ascending (8/1), Tred Softly (10/1), Thorntoun Care (10/1), Celtic Power (20/1), Fillydelphia (28/1), Jebulani (80/1)

Verdict

The in-form Sebastian's Wish is the obvious starting point and he is much respected despite his rise up the weights. However, he is going to start at fairly short odds for the difficulty of his task and Thorntoun Care and STAR ASCENDING are likely to represent better value. The former has a big weight pull for a recent beating and has clear prospects of turning the tables, while the latter has been in good form on the AW and is close to his last winning mark on turf. Mrs Biggs and Mr Sundowner are also considered in an open contest.
  1. Star Ascending
  2. Thorntoun Care
  3. Sebastian's Wish
