Forecasts

Marracudja (2/1), Breath Of Blighty (4/1), Oliver's Hill (6/1), Noche De Reyes (7/1), Workbench (8/1), Pearls Legend (8/1), Braavos (12/1), Back By Midnight (14/1)

Verdict

Top weight may not be enough to anchor MARRACUDJA, who is on a handy mark and may be the best of the bunch that likes to make the running. Oliver's Hill is a bit of a law unto himself but would be a big threat if repeating the level of form he showed to win at Fontwell last time out, while Back By Midnight also comes into the reckoning on the pick of his efforts but may not ideally appreciate being taken on for the lead.
  1. Marracudja
  2. Oliver's Hill
  3. Back By Midnight
