Forecasts

How Bizarre (9/4), Little Ted (7/2), Chinese Spirit (9/2), Merricourt (9/2), Without Delay (6/1), Fanzone (10/1), Banner Road (14/1), Engles Rock (25/1), Hollis Brown (50/1)

Verdict

CHINESE SPIRIT deserves to get his head in front following a couple of close calls off this mark in recent weeks, and he is taken to do just that. The 9-y-o may have most to fear from Merricourt, while Little Ted and How Bizarre, though not the most reliable of types on balance, are also live contenders in current form.

  1. CHINESE SPIRIT (IRE)
  2. MERRICOURT (IRE)
  3. LITTLE TED
