Forecasts

Bucephalus (3/1), Irv (3/1), James Park Woods (3/1), Curfewed (15/2), John Jasper (8/1), Ugo Gregory (10/1), Mikmak (12/1), Oud Metha Bridge (12/1), Mustaqbal (33/1), Spirit Of Sahara (80/1)

Verdict

Preference is for IRV, who wasn't seen to best effect at Thirsk recently and is better judged on his most encouraging C&D reappearance effort off a 2 lb higher mark in April. Ugo Gregory has edged down to an appealing mark and is feared with conditions to suit, while a similar comment applies to James Park Woods. Oud Metha Bridge is also shortlisted.

  1. IRV (IRE)
  2. UGO GREGORY
  3. JAMES PARK WOODS (IRE)
