Forecasts
Merweb (9/4), Addis Ababa (11/4), Harbour Breeze (4/1), Alfa McGuire (8/1), Employer (14/1), Diodorus (14/1), Zabeel Star (16/1), Tamreer (16/1), Super Kid (16/1)
An open race without a standout contender with the likes of Addis Ababa, Employer and Zabeel Star all closely matched on the evidence of a recent C&D clash, whilst the top-weight Diodorous looks difficult to assess. It's entirely possible that the progressive Merweb can continue to thrive for Heather Main and cope with both a step up in trip and grade, but at the forecast odds we'll take a real chance on the Tim Easterby-trained 7yo SUPER KID. He made his seasonal reappearance in a very competitive 1m4f handicap at Thirsk (wasn't disgraced at odds of 50/1) and could make the most of a downward-spiralling handicap mark imminently.
