Forecasts

Bahuta Acha (9/4), Betsey Trotter (5/2), Naadirr (5/2), Extrasolar (10/1), Pea Shooter (14/1), Tavener (14/1), Adam's Ale (16/1), Scarlet Skis (25/1), Majdool (33/1), De Latour (50/1), Cotton Socks (66/1), Mightaswellsmile (100/1)

NAADIRR has good back form and dropping markedly in grade here he is taken to register a victory in this competitive selling event. The selection can get the better of Adam's Ale who ran well in a similar race to this earlier this month while third place can go to the veteran Pea Shooter who is another dropping in grade.
