Forecasts

Ashoka (6/5), Capital Force (2/1), Theflyingportrait (9/4), Empresario (16/1), Fago (25/1)

Verdict

With Fago and Empresario hard to recommend on recent form between the flags this boils down to a three-cornered affair between the other protagonists. Theflyingpotrait has form in this race having won this two years ago and finished fourth last year but there’s a suspicion that this ground will prove a little too testing for this likeable sort who could get a soft lead but has work to do with Capital Force on their Ludlow meeting last time. The race set up well for the Martin Keighley inmate at the Shropshire course but ASHOKA defied a 12-month absence last time and sensibly given a break since that run and only raised 4lb he’s the suggestion with the Southwell race having worked out well.
  1. Ashoka
  2. Capital Force
  3. Theflyingportrait
