Forecasts

Mc Loven (9/4), The Thames Boatman (10/3), Bedford Flyer (7/1), Almaty Star (15/2), Cover Point (8/1), Invincible Speed (8/1), Michaela's Boy (16/1), One Night Stand (25/1), Equity Law (25/1)

Verdict

A tightly-knit sprint in which ALMATY STAR is taken to follow up his recent Goodwood success and bag a second C&D victory. Invincible Speed rates a big threat though on the back of a career-best Wolverhampton win, with the handily-weighted duo Bedford Flyer and Michaela's Boy also well in the mix if back at their best.

  1. Almaty Star15/2
  2. Invincible Speed8/1
  3. Bedford Flyer7/1
