Forecasts

Ballymillsy (6/4), J'Ai Froid (7/2), Morning Spirit (7/1), Looks Like Power (10/1), Poker Play (11/1), Diomede Des Mottes (12/1), Flashjack (18/1), Minella Warrior (18/1), Sykes (25/1), Geordie Des Champs (33/1), Burrows Park (40/1)

Verdict

BALLYMILLSY improved for the step up in trip and switch to handicaps when landing a C&D contest last month and a 6 lb rise may underestimate this 5-y-o. Looks Like Power is into the veteran stage of his career but he reacted well to a change of tactics at Exeter and retains handicap scope, with Morning Spirit completing the shortlist.
