Forecasts

National Bank (11/4), Million Doro (7/2), Norato (4/1), Border Edge (13/2), Eruptive (13/2), Pipes And Drums (12/1), Tolmount (16/1), Desert Horizon (25/1), Onight (33/1), Road Bloc (40/1), Sadeedd (40/1), Rabdaan (50/1), Lenormand (66/1), Marching Thunder (66/1), Nastase (80/1)

Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and NORATO, who rates the pick of the weights, is taken to gain a breakthrough victory at the chief expense of fellow in-form maiden Million Doro. Pipes And Drums and Border Edge both need factoring in too.

  1. Norato4/1
  2. Million Doro7/2
  3. Pipes And Drums12/1
