9/1
Poor gelding. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good third of 9 in minor event at this C&D (good to firm, 18/1) 29 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and can't be discounted.

Forecasts

Retirement Beckons (8/11), Kraken Filly (5/2), Mintnthat (9/1), Big Dutchie (11/1), Broadhaven (25/1), Calderbank (33/1), Dark Eclipse (100/1)

Verdict

RETIREMENT BECKONS looks the way to go here given he can boast a C&D success and arrives on the back of another good run over C&D. Mintnthat showed the benefit of cheekpieces when third here so can't be ruled out now the blinkers go on. Kraken Filly is another weighted to have a say if back on song.

  1. Retirement Beckons8/11
  2. Mintnthat9/1
  3. Kraken Filly5/2
