Forecasts

Naples Bay (9/4), Star Cracker (7/2), Gaelic Wizard (5/1), Prazeres (5/1), Berlios (6/1), Iconic Figure (7/1), Cheeni (8/1), Simbas Song (14/1), Goninodaethat (16/1), Guiding Star (22/1), I Am Dandy (22/1), Mardy Gras (40/1)

Verdict

As is often the case if these lower graded handicaps, it may pay to look towards the head of the weights, and Star Cracker ran well at Newcastle last time out but probably wants softer ground, while Berlios can't be discounted based on his best turf form. However preference is for NAPLES BAY, who finished a fine third at Thirsk last time out and in doing so took a step forward that suggests he should be capable of recording a second win here provided he handles the likely fast ground.
  1. Naples Bay
  2. Star Cracker
  3. Berlios
