Forecasts
Whitsundays (6/4), Uno Valoroso (5/2), Vengeur De Guye (9/2), Trust Thomas (5/1), Las Tunas (12/1)
A small field, but once more, a standout selection is tricky to fathom. Uno Valoroso and Whitsundays locked horns at Bangor in December, and there's little to choose between the pair based upon that evidence. However, the sneaking suspicion is that the Mark Walford trained ten-year-old will once more get the better of the battle; particularly if allowed to bowl along in front (seems to suit best) at this sharp track. However, a marginal preference is for VENGEUR DE GUYE. Consistency isn't his forte, but he has a reasonable record over C&D from similar (including higher) marks, and this looks a fair opportunity in which to strike.
