Forecasts

Tea Time On Mars (5/1), Gran Paradiso (5/1), Duc De Grissay (11/2), Alminar (7/1), Big Difference (8/1), Mance Rayder (17/2), Boyhood (9/1), Cyclop (12/1), The Wicket Chicken (12/1), Lithic (12/1), Bafana Blue (16/1), Monkey Puzzle (18/1), Head To The Stars (20/1), Overworkdunderpaid (20/1), Seaston Spirit (20/1), Buck Dancing (50/1)

Verdict

A typically competitive renewal of this staying chase in which GRAND PARADISO is taken to complete a quick-fire hat-trick following a pair of victories at Sedgefield last month. Tristan Davidson has his string in fine order and he should go close granted luck in running. Cyclop excels over these marathon trips so rates as the main threat for Matt Sheppard, ahead of Big Difference and Alminar.
