Forecasts

Mekong (11/2), Supernova (6/1), Corgi (6/1), Making Miracles (6/1), Berkshire Blue (15/2), Heart Of Grace (8/1), Ghostwatch (10/1), Blue Laureate (16/1), Proschema (20/1), Polish (20/1), Coolongolook (20/1), Lucky Deal (20/1), Shuhood (25/1), Sergio Leone (28/1), Midnight Wilde (33/1), Candidate (40/1)

Verdict

The most difficult looking race on Saturday's York card, with a plethora of interwoven handicap form-lines and the constant worry of an unexposed sort lurking, with both Supernova and Heart Of Grace most feared on that particular score. Corgi has raced consistently all summer and deserves to be on the premises, but wherever he finishes both Making Miracles and Proschema shouldn't be far away. However, with that latter named pair likely to make this an end to end gallop, the stout stayer GHOSTWATCH is fancied to pounce late for Will Buick (admittedly needs to negotiate a safe passage past weakening horses), with another to consider being Mekong.
