Forecasts

Tommys Geal (9/2), Sir Jack (11/2), Provoking (7/1), Etaad (8/1), Master Of Heaven (10/1), Live Dangerously (10/1), Dalavand (12/1), Fitzwilliam (14/1), Just Fred (14/1), Megalala (16/1), Its A Sheila Thing (16/1), Strictly Art (16/1), Funny Oyster (20/1), Fenner Hill Neasa (33/1), Fishergate (33/1), Sailor Malan (33/1)

Verdict

More low-grade stuff with a fair few still trying to break their maiden after plenty of attempts and very few solid options. Master Of Heaven brings winning form into the race but his turf form isn’t as good and if he settles Provoking would have a chance of breaking his maiden. With so many hard to fancy the veteran Megalala has a good chance of gaining another C&D win but TOMMY’S GEAL just edges the vote having shown she can operate off marks such as this.
  1. Tommys Geal
  2. Provoking
  3. Megalala
