(2)

Visitant^p⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 46

Form: 8-43625

Forecasts

Penelope's Sister (7/2), Ledger (7/2), Jaminoz (11/2), Golden Echo (13/2), Sycamore Gap (15/2), Lunacy (10/1), Visitant (11/1), Miss Harmony (14/1), Epona Pas (14/1)

Preference is for PENELOPE'S SISTER, who left previous efforts behind to open her account over C&D last month and Jim Goldie's filly is totally unexposed at this trip. She can get the better of Sycamore Gap, who took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Newcastle recently and has a first-time tongue tie added today. Ledger and Visitant can fight out third.
