Forecasts

King Otis (5/4), Embolden (9/4), Star Legend (7/1), Mi Sueno (9/1), Deal Em High (12/1), Hobsons Bay (16/1), Onnaroll (22/1), Milton Boy (66/1)

Verdict

None of these look especially solid and EMBOLDEN is the obvious place to turn on the back of a good effort at Uttoxeter a couple of weeks ago. He's slipped below the mark off which he opened his hurdles account here during the spring and conditions won't be an issue for this 6-y-o. King Otis will be of interest starting out for James Owen if the market vibes are upbeat, while Deal Em High also enters calculations. Hobsons Bay is also worth a second look on his handicap debut in this sphere.

  1. EMBOLDEN (IRE)
  2. KING OTIS (IRE)
  3. DEAL EM HIGH
