Forecasts

Contingency Fee (2/1), Simbirsk (3/1), Champs De Reves (4/1), The Eagle's Nest (9/2), Maroc (9/2), Zephyros (11/2), Brecqhou Island (14/1), One Liner (28/1)

Verdict

Most of these are fairly exposed with the exception of SIMBIRSK who made a very sound start to his career with John O’Shea when finishing second at Windsor the 3lb rise he’s been given for that effort looks more than fair. Maroc isn’t one to totally rely on but at this level and on his first start since a wind op he has to be respected. Brecqhou Island comes here on the back of a decent effort and a more evenly/soundly run race would suit him far better. Contingency Fee has been in rude health of late but hit the buffers last time when the busy spell appeared to have caught up with him although he encounters a different surface now.
  1. Simbirsk
  2. Maroc
  3. Brecqhou Island
