Forecasts
Prendergast Hill (7/2), Curlew River (4/1), Sir Jack (6/1), Therthaar (6/1), Mullarkey (13/2), Cotton Club (8/1), Spinners Ball (9/1), Sparte Quercus (12/1), Classic Villager (12/1), Star Of Lombardy (14/1), Inke (14/1), Clovelly Bay (14/1), Foresee (20/1), Start Seven (33/1)
Few would begrudge Prendergast Hill a win after a string of good efforts and he again has claims, as does Start Seven if they go quick enough to bring his stamina into play. Sparte Quercus is not ruled out from returning to form, while Cotton Club and Curlew River each has positives, but the suggestion is joint topweight SPINNERS BALL, whose yard is among the winners and who is back at a more realistic level today.
- Spinners Ball
- Curlew River
