Forecasts

Ubatuba (6/5), Shotgun Rider (3/1), Choice Runner (7/2), Tao Enki (9/1), My Own Lovely Lee (9/1), Pop's Folly (18/1), Midsummer Dream (33/1), Neptune House (150/1)

Verdict

With this step back up in trip likely to spark improvement, CHOICE RUNNER is taken to build on his recent Uttoxeter second by going one better here. Point winners Shotgun Rider and Ubatuba are appealing and confidence behind either in the betting would look significant, while My Own Lovely Lee and Tao Enki both showed promise on their debuts in this sphere and should do better in time.
