Forecasts

Fred (4/1), Lord Melbourne (5/1), Countfonic Legacy (5/1), Great Warrior (6/1), Into The Future (6/1), Irish Rain (15/2), Black Thorn (17/2), Twin Turbo (12/1), The Kop (12/1), Ideal Wolff (16/1), Rosso Meadow (25/1), Chenopod (33/1)

Verdict

BLACK THORN is running creditably and seems the one they have to beat. Lord Melbourne could provide the chief danger, while Twin Turbo is another to consider.

  1. BLACK THORN (SAF)
  2. LORD MELBOURNE (SAF)
  3. TWIN TURBO (SAF)
