Forecasts

Ghaseedah (7/4), The Amber Fort (4/1), Musharrif (9/2), Newstead Abbey (7/1), Crosse Fire (10/1), Interlink (12/1), Midnight Macchiato (14/1), Kody Ridge (16/1), Courier (16/1), Monte Cinq (33/1), Amazing Grazing (40/1)

Verdict

A sprint handicap with some depth despite the market looking a little lopsided and greatly favouring the impressive maiden winner over C&D last time in Ghaseedah. That form isn’t strong though and she’ll be tested to a greater degree here and THE AMBER FORT appeals more at the likely odds. He looked well suited by this surface last time when taking the runner-up slot and that form also looks strong. Newstead Abbey defends a 1/1 record here but has more to do than when winning a claimer here while Kody Ridge may be fitter this time around and more is expected. Musharrif is worth watching for the future slipping down the weights although this 6f trip may just test him a little too much a return to 5f being the time to side with him.
  1. The Amber Fort
  2. Ghaseedah
  3. Kody Ridge
