Okeanos^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 62

7/2

Winner at Wolverhampton in April. 4/1, very good second of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark.

Form: 252122

Forecasts

Okeanos (7/2), Captain Vallo (11/2), Barney's Bay (11/2), Beauty Choice (6/1), Asadjumeirah (6/1), Brazen Idol (17/2), Foreseeable Future (11/1), Crypto Quest (14/1), Dandy Spirit (22/1), Jupiter Express (22/1), Thismydream (28/1), Golden Duke (33/1), Captain's Bar (40/1)

Lots with chances. OKEANOS posted a very good second on his turf debut at Redcar a week ago and can race off the same mark here so edges the vote at the chief expense of Captain Vallo who came home first in his group when third at Thirsk last time. Foreseeable Future is another who can have a big say in his bid for a third win of 2023.
