Forecasts

Bennachie (2/1), Micquus (3/1), Redmond (5/1), Tactical Manoeuvre (6/1), Grey Messenger (14/1), Bally Lagan (16/1), Thoonavolla (16/1), My Diamond (25/1), Spock (28/1), Accessallareas (33/1)

Verdict

Spock and Redmond are likely to make this a decent test but neither makes that much appeal for the win. Bennachie is the in-form one, having won at Plumpton last time out with a bit in hand and on the same mark here, can repeat the dose. Thoonavolla isn't getting any younger but is still capable of popping up at some point and has his ideal conditions here. He can prove the main danger. Micquus is proving disappointing but may be best of the rest.
  1. Bennachie
  2. Thoonavolla
