Forecasts

Catching On (11/4), Millicent Silver (4/1), Whiskey Chaser (6/1), Itstimeforapint (7/1), Rigadin De Beauchene (7/1), Zerachiel (8/1), Barton Gift (8/1), Boyfromnowhere (12/1), Astigos (33/1)

Verdict

A back-to-form Barton Gift would surely make his presence felt in this line-up now just 1lb higher than his second win in the contest last year. However, recent form has not given much encouragement and so the market might prove our best guide to his chance on the day. Catching On should be involved but will need to find more than he has of late to be winning again and Millicent Silver may do better. Whiskey Chaser is a course winner, though his task is no easy one from this mark and especially over this far. Therefore, the suggestion is ITSTIMEFORAPINT, who stays really well, has conditions to suit and may be sparked back into form by blinkers. If so, he can take advantage of a handy mark.
  1. Itstimeforapint
  2. Millicent Silver
  3. Barton Gift
