Forecasts

Rashaan (1/1), Cap D'Aubois (7/4), Dedigout (3/1), Wakea (5/1), Heist (12/1), I'm An Izz Wizz (25/1)

Verdict

Cap D'aubois remains unexposed and it would be dangerous to write him off given his connections, despite a very flat showing at Galway last time. He may leave that behind. Dedigout is not getting any younger and waited a long while now between drinks, but he shouldn't be underestimated at this level regardless. That said, the pick on form remains RASHAAN twice a winner over hurdles this year already and surely the one to beat if stamina holds for this attempt at 3m.
  1. Rashaan
  2. Cap D'aubois
  3. Dedigout
