Forecasts

Lovely Approach (5/2), Badenscoth (6/1), Ambient (6/1), Stormy Blues (7/1), Rockwood (8/1), Bollihope (8/1), Manfadh (10/1), Seek The Moon (10/1), Rubensian (12/1), Mearing (14/1), The Eagle's Nest (25/1), Beatbybeatbybeat (25/1), Captain Pugwash (33/1)

Verdict

LOVELY APPROACH may top the weights but looks the one to follow given a classic pedigree and a debut run that suggests he is potentially well-handicapped in this. He has clearly had some problems but there were positives to take from his comeback run and he should offer more over this trip. Badenscloth and Rockwood are nicely weighted at present but Stormy Blues looks the main threat with the form of his latest outing being advertised since.
  1. Lovely Approach
