Forecasts

Show On The Road (11/4), Lord Napier (11/4), I See You Well (6/1), Doc Carver (13/2), Dinos Benefit (8/1), Trans Express (12/1), Morianour (12/1), Fixed Rate (16/1), Phobiaphiliac (33/1)

Verdict

Lord Napier is potentially a lot better than we have seen so far and he could make a mockery of his current mark. however, DOC CARVER relishes these conditions and will find them far more suitable than last time. His second at Bangor has been franked since and suggests he is more than capable of taking advantage of his current mark. Dino's Benefit has not been set an easy task by the handicapper and in contrast I See You Well has been given a chance to improve on recent efforts. Show On The Road failed to progress last time and connections will be hoping a return to this track brings out the best in him.
  1. Doc Carver
  2. Lord Napier
  3. I See You Well
