Summa Peto¹⁰

Weight: 9-7| Age: 3

T: K Dalgleish J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Redarna (9/2), Cold Stare (5/1), Wobwobwob (6/1), Dancing To Win (6/1), Summa Peto (8/1), Zip (17/2), Tommy G (9/1), True Blue Moon (11/1), Shawaamekh (12/1), Black Friday (14/1), Dutch Decoy (14/1), Hajjam (14/1), Parallel World (80/1)

TOMMY G is having a fine season and is taken to bag win number five having had too much use made of him here last time and been lowered a generous 3 lb now. Dancing To Win is weighted to go well if shrugging off her latest showing at Newmarket, with last year's winner Redarna not discounted either in a very open handicap.
