Forecasts

Classy Al (7/2), Darkness (18/5), Espressoo (4/1), Judgment Call (5/1), Manigordo (7/1), How Impressive (10/1), Touchwood (11/1), Black Friday (16/1)

Verdict

CLASSY AL shaped better than the bare result when third behind Judgment Call over C&D on his return and is taken to come out on top this time on 4 lb better terms. The latter named is a big threat however, with Espressoo not taken lightly either on seasonal bow.

  1. Classy Al7/2
  2. Judgment Call5/1
  3. Espressoo4/1
