Forecasts

Mr Love (5/2), Teddy Tee (3/1), Crank Em Up (7/2), Crest (4/1), Capote (4/1), Captain Mowbray (9/2), Sir Will (9/2), Big Meadow (5/1), Monsieur Arkadin (12/1)

Verdict

Captain Mowbray would not be an undeserving winner after several good efforts in defeat and he is the most experienced chaser in the line-up here, but there must be a doubt about him getting home on his first try at 3m given the forecast going. Crest is very interesting on his first start for Micky Hammond and he looks more like an improver over this trip. His mark also looks fair, so a decent effort could be on the cards. Sir Will looks as though he will do better over fences and along with Mr Love, he should be checked for market confidence, though the suggestion is TEDDY TEE. Nicky Richards' eight-year-old put in a really good return run in the context of this race, is unexposed and today can be his day.
  1. Teddy Tee
