Forecasts

Gorsky Island (9/2), Pembroke House (11/2), By The Boardwalk (11/2), Tb Broke Her (6/1), Amber Gambler (6/1), Still Believing (7/1), Shanty Town (9/1), Astracad (9/1), Royale Django (14/1), Harry Hunt (14/1), Victor Leudorum (33/1), Bertie Lugg (40/1)

Verdict

Any money for Astracad should be noted as he is lurking on a very dangerous mark. Tb Broker Her was in great form before her short break and could well continue her progress. Pembroke House is as consistent as they come but may well find one or two too good once again. A chance is going to be taken that GORSKY ISLAND can make a winning return to this track. Both his career victories came here, this is his second run after wind surgery and he is also on a dangerous mark.
  1. Gorsky Island
  2. Pembroke House
  3. Tb Broke Her
