Forecasts
Carrytheone (9/4), Protagonist (11/2), Frank Arthur (11/2), So Suave (8/1), Flaming Moon (11/1), Strongbowe (12/1), Sky Seven (16/1), Imposing Supreme (18/1), Mythologic (18/1), Gee Rex (18/1), Khafaaq (18/1), Silvertown (18/1), Mccabe (25/1), Hightimeyouwon (33/1), Elite Legion (40/1), Trading Point (50/1), Settle For Bay (66/1)
Despite the competitive nature of this event, if he reproduces the form he showed on handicap debut over C&D when second to a solid yardstick then FRANK ARTHUR can go one better. He has a likeable profile and off just a 3lb higher mark should be more than capable of building on that effort. Next best is Carrytheone who holds a similar profile but this opening mark is no gift after he shed his maiden over C&D last time. Strongbowe & Hightimeyouwon are worth chancing each-way after their recent disappointments given they were going the right way beforehand. So Suave would also hold place claims after appreciating the return to handicap company when last seen.
- Frank Arthur
- Hightimeyouwon
- Carrytheone
