Forecasts

Zarkavon (2/1), With Approval (4/1), I Am Dandy (11/2), Gun Case (13/2), Warrior's Spirit (15/2), Wensley (11/1), Rince Deireanach (16/1), Crash Helmet (16/1), Lord Rob (33/1)

Verdict

Gun Case has continued to fire blanks despite being given every chance by the assessor, but he could be worth a small each-way interest fresh from a break in a very winnable contest. The mare Zarkavon is clearly the in-form horse in this field and she shouldn't be opposed lightly, but at projected cramped odds is taken on with the Peter Niven-trained WARRIOR'S SPIRIT. This six-year-old gelding outperformed all realistic expectations on his return to the track (from a 443-day absence) a fortnight ago.
  1. Warrior's Spirit
  2. Zarkavon
  3. Gun Case
