Forecasts

Ice Age (10/3), Handytalk (10/3), Bahamian Dollar (4/1), King Of Spin (11/2), Major Pusey (8/1), Seeking Magic (9/1), Clear Spring (10/1), Letmestopyouthere (14/1), Ashpan Sam (16/1), Little Palaver (22/1)

Verdict

MAJOR PUSEY was a winner here in May and can take this for in-form trainer John Gallagher (2/8). The selection had Bahamian Dollar back in second on that occasion and can confirm that form having finished third off a 1lb higher mark at Newmarket last time. Of the remainder Handytalk is respected having finished runner-up at Epsom over 7f last time out and he can claim third today.
  1. Major Pusey
  2. Bahamian Dollar
  3. Handytalk
