Forecasts

Al Mudhaffar (1/3), Sir Sagacious (3/1), George Smiley (8/1), Hoover Dam (9/1), Natural Ruler (12/1), Currumbin (12/1), Chinois (18/1), Ashikita (20/1), Action Plan (25/1), Latin (33/1), Spunog (50/1), Flippity Flop (66/1), Jlow (100/1), Solar Drive (100/1), Albion Power (150/1), Star Sailor (150/1), Layoftheland (300/1)

Verdict

The fact that AL MUDHAFFAR was sent off at odds on for his C&D debut suggests he's well regarded by his powerful stable and he's preferred to fellow course debut runner-up Sir Sagacious. The selection's stablemate Chinois should also build on last week's opening effort here, while Dermot Weld's Ashikita is a newcomer to monitor in the betting.

  1. AL MUDHAFFAR (IRE)
  2. SIR SAGACIOUS (IRE)
  3. CHINOIS (IRE)
