Forecasts

Darlac (10/11), High Command (9/4), Go Forrit (3/1), Balli Martine (4/1), Black Lightning (5/1), Andapa (7/1), Sheila's Fancy (33/1), Clive Clifton (66/1), Breezeblock (100/1)

Verdict

Andapa is the unknown quantity of the race and it would be no surprise to see her win granted a clear round, but BALLI MARTINE looks a safer proposition and is taken to come out on top after his break. High Command can build on his hurdling debut, while the likes of Black Lightning, Go Forrit, Sheila's Fancy and Darlac are others to note.
