Forecasts

Gloves Lynch (10/3), Silver Dust (10/3), Enough Already (4/1), School Of Thought (5/1), Always Fearless (13/2), Accomplice (7/1), Gavi Di Gavi (8/1), Nonios (8/1)

SCHOOL OF THOUGHT's trainer and jockey are enjoying a real purple patch at the moment and this lightly=raced 4-y-o could continue that form here. George Boughey has a good record with recruits from other yards and this gelding shaped with enough promise last year to suggest he can gain a first career victory. Gloves Lynch and Silver Dust look to be the biggest dangers.
