Forecasts

Run To Milan (6/4), Captain Cattistock (15/8), Darcy Ward (7/2), Carole's Vigilante (9/1), Inspireus (66/1), Beyond Supremacy (66/1), Bellamy's Grey (100/1)

Verdict

Quite a strong contest and one in which Captain Cattistock sets the standard. His rider's allowance should help and he is much respected, but there are a couple of improvers in opposition in the shape of Carole's Vigilante and Darcy Ward and both warrant maximum respect. Slight preference, though is for RUN TO MILAN, who was found wanting in a big novices' handicap at Sandown last time, but had previously looked a horse with a future with victory at Exeter and a second to a useful sort at Kempton.
