Forecasts

The Story So Far (5/2), Billy Lee Swagger (11/4), Crossing The Bar (7/1), Royal Cave (11/1), Blaze The Way (16/1), Western Zara (16/1), Toor Khov (18/1), Churchwarden (20/1), Plain Or Battered (22/1), Born Bright (25/1), Healdsburg (25/1), Boston Beach (25/1), Robyndeglory (25/1), Doitforjane Sid (28/1), Tullyhogue Fort (28/1), Where's Frankie (28/1), Rodney Bay (33/1), Presenting Doyen (80/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances but CROSSING THE BAR rates the pick of the weights back in this sphere so edges the vote from handicapping debutants Born Bright (second choice) and Boston Beach. Billy Lee Swagger, Churchwarden and Toor Khov all need factoring into this very open handicap too.

  1. Crossing The Bar7/1
  2. Born Bright25/1
  3. Boston Beach25/1
