5/2

Useful gelding. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (7/2) 33 days ago, unable to sustain effort. That was a rare poor effort here and last year's winner should bounce back. One to consider.

Forecasts

Barbados (13/8), Grandmaster Flash (5/2), Jerandme (3/1), Here And Now (15/2), Bradesco (12/1), Guild (100/1), Travel On (125/1)

BARBADOS continues in good form, shaping better than the result over hurdles recently, and could be the way to go turned out quickly. Last year's winner Grandmaster Flash looks the obvious danger.
