Forecasts

Hometown Boy (13/8), Paricolor (4/1), Torrid (5/1), Catlow (13/2), Farmer Boy (10/1), State Vision (12/1), Mystic Court (12/1), King D'Argent (14/1), Painted Cliffs (14/1), Ballycrystal (25/1), Snougar (25/1), Ice Galley (33/1)

Verdict

Paricolor has been well placed to win his last two and a bold bid for the hat-trick is on the cards. However, the opposition is stronger as a result and HOMETOWN BOY has showed more than enough to suggest he can get involved on his handicap debut, especially dropped in trip for a yard that does well here. Mystic Court is badly handicapped on his win earlier in the year and with the Pauling team emerging from the doldrums, he has each-way claims.
  1. Hometown Boy
