Forecasts

Apterix (5/4), Man Look (7/4), Stags Leap (5/1), Waltz Darling (16/1), Tiger Trek (16/1)

Verdict

A tough one to call despite the lack of number as the likes of Stags leap and Apterix have very little to find to get competitive at this level, while Tiger Trek ran well in a seller when last seen and may still have something more to offer. He may well prove the decision to keep him ticking over is correct. However, the nomination as the one to be on goes to MAN LOOK, who gets the nod on grounds of consistency. It's also noteworthy that the gelding's yard won this race last year and, given that he's held his own in better company, top weight may be no barrier to success this time around.
