Forecasts

Starshell (15/8), Ballyfarsoon (9/2), Navajo Star (8/1), Knight Commander (8/1), Nepeta (8/1), Gold Class (9/1), The Way You Dance (12/1), Gee Sixty Six (14/1), Midnight Mood (16/1), Wassail (25/1), Scarlet Thrush (50/1)

Verdict

If there was a chance of a decent pace Ballyfarsoon would be considered a worthy selection off this mark. It is unlikely NEPETA will have as much use made of her on his first venture over 2m but she could be the answer to a tricky finale. Her sire has got winners over this distance and she is dropped into basement grade for the first time. Off a career low mark she has a lot going for her. In contrast Starshell has appeared regressive and his last performance suggested he is going the wrong way. Knight Commander has been much improved over hurdles lately and that could leave him well treated here. He has been beaten in two previous AW starts but given he went off at 20/1 on both occasions it may be wise not to read too much into those efforts.
  1. Nepeta
  2. Knight Commander
  3. Ballyfarsoon
