Forecasts

Bollihope (9/4), Stoneboat Bill (5/2), Leonard Thomas (9/2), Outlaw Torn (5/1), Captain Peaky (11/1), Falcon's Fire (14/1), Mangata (20/1), Beau Strata (66/1), Zarkavon (100/1)

Verdict

Probably a weaker contest than Division 1 which takes place 35 mins earlier, so we'll not dwell for too long. Leonard Thomas has performed respectably (without winning) since joining Rebecca Menzies, and ought to have some sort of positive role to play despite the drop back in trip whilst both Stoneboat Bill and Falcon's Fire could be competitive on the basis of their strongest career efforts. However, we'll keep it simple and take the chance that a wind operation has worked the oracle for BOLLIHOPE. He's essentially better than these rivals and lurks from a competitive handicap mark over a C&D that suits him down to the ground.
  1. Bollihope
  2. Stoneboat Bill
  3. Leonard Thomas
