Forecasts

Merchant Of Venice (13/8), Juyush (9/2), Red Ball Of Fire (15/2), Fridtjof Nansen (8/1), Reverberation (10/1), Musalsal (10/1), Angel Palanas (11/1), Akhlaaq (16/1), Tanseeq (18/1), Waterville Lady (40/1), Fashaar (80/1), High Street Lady (150/1)

Verdict

A wide-open closer with marginal preference for MERCHANT OF VENICE, who shaped well when runner-up on first start for Ado McGuinness last month and can go one place better here. Angel Palanas rates the biggest threat if carrying on his current form for his new trainer, with Fridtjof Nansen and Reverberation a couple of others to consider.

  1. MERCHANT OF VENICE
  2. ANGEL PALANAS
  3. FRIDTJOF NANSEN
