Forecasts

Benjamin Thomas (11/10), Dourado (7/2), Golden Guest (4/1), Habbad (7/1), Grand Myla (10/1), El Torito (11/1), Dream Start (12/1)

Verdict

Most of these have questions to answer of one sort or another and GOLDEN GUEST should be capable of completing the hat-trick. He looked well handicapped at the start of the campaign and has now begun to fulfil his potential. He will get a good lead into the race from Habbad and has most to fear from Benjamin Thomas. John Quinn, who does well on his raids here, has engaged Silvestre De Sousa who has a good strike rate for the yard. His last run was disappointing but improvement appears to be anticipated. Grand Myla represents a yard in form and any improvement for the switch to a longer trip would put her in the mix.
