Forecasts

Crosspark (10/11), Creep Desbois (5/2), O Maonlai (7/1), Colin's Brother (11/1), Azzuri (20/1), Bright New Dawn (20/1)

Verdict

Bright New Dawn is very much of interest down in grade here, though the Venetia Williams team is a little below par this term, which is a concern. O Maonlai has the ability to win it, but catching him right is difficult and last year's winner Crosspark is arguably more reliable and should be thereabouts from 2lb higher. Creep Desbois needs to up his game, but is still going the right way and the latter comment applies to COLIN'S BROTHER, who won at Ludlow looking like there was more to come, so he gets the bote to follow-up from 5lb higher.
