Forecasts

See The Sea (3/1), Bayston Hill (7/2), Lady Valdean (4/1), Spiritual Man (9/2), Love And Be Loved (7/1), Manchego (8/1), Edge (10/1), Let Me In (14/1), Pack It In (25/1)

Verdict

An open contest with Bayston Hill likely to make a bold bid off top-weight following his recent win. See The Sea probably needed her seasonal reappearance and should be more competitive now for her leading stable. Preference is for SPIRITUAL MAN who got an overdue maiden win showing that this is his ideal distance and it's worth taking a chance he can handle this ground as he looks ahead of the handicapper at present.
  1. Spiritual Man
  2. Bayston Hill
  3. See The Sea
