Forecasts

Honest Vic (11/4), Myplaceatmidnight (9/2), Pineapple Rush (11/2), Pilansberg (11/2), Mercenaire (10/1), Way Out West (12/1), Shillingsworth (12/1), Buywise (12/1), Merry Milan (14/1), Sandymount (20/1), Cotton Club (100/1), Away For Slates (100/1)

Verdict

The likes of Pilansberg, Mercenaire and Cotton Club have chances on their best form but are hard to recommend on what they have done lately. Sandymount would give a good account if ready after a long absence, whilst Pineapple Rush represents a yard that have a good record in this race. She has had wind surgery following two dismal runs in her first starts in handicap company. Shillingsworth will go close if none the worse for his latest lapse and if his jumping improves. HONEST VIC looks the most progressive of these and his latest run has been boosted since. He has most to fear from Myplaceatmidnight who produced an eyecatching run last time.
  1. Honest Vic
  2. Myplaceatmidnight
  3. Shillingsworth
