10/3
Prominent in the betting both starts for this yard, shaping as though in need of the run when 4¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Charlie Mason in handicap (2/1) at Leicester (6f, good) 27 days ago. Expected to step up on that.

Forecasts

Hierarchy (9/4), Charlie Mason (16/5), Beelzebub (10/3), Filly One (10/1), Vince Lombardi (12/1), Bellagio Man (16/1), Cooperation (16/1), Mattice (18/1), Beneficiary (28/1), Run This Way (66/1)

Verdict

This looks trappy with several of these expected to step up on their reappearance runs. Top of the list is BEELZEBUB, who surely has more to offer for his excellent yard. Mattice and Vince Lombardi are a couple of potential threats.

  1. Beelzebub10/3
  2. Mattice18/1
  3. Vince Lombardi12/1
