Forecasts

Linebacker (11/10), Kommetdieding (3/1), Second Base (8/1), Rascallion (10/1), Russian Rock (14/1), Copper Mountain (16/1), Dr Doolittle (16/1), The Gatekeeper (25/1), Infinite Wonder (50/1), Shah Akbar (66/1), Flying Carpet (80/1), Full Blast (100/1)

Verdict

DR DOOLITTLE is a great price to add his name to the rich roll of honour in this Grade 1. Second Base and Copper Mountain also come into the reckoning.

  1. DR DOOLITTLE (SAF)
  2. SECOND BASE (SAF)
  3. COPPER MOUNTAIN (SAF)
