Forecasts

Krabat (7/4), Optional Mix (7/2), Gevrey (5/1), Railway Hurricane (7/1), Fighting Fit (9/1), Whiskeywealth (9/1), Street Value (10/1), The Dara Man (22/1), Bold Emperor (40/1)

Verdict

The progressive FIGHTING FIT followed up his Naas handicap win with a bit more in hand than the margin would imply so is taken to complete the hat-trick. Krabat is next best ahead of Gevrey.
