High Opinion⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 64| CD

12/1

Three-time winner over 5f last season but more miss than hit in 2025. It remains to be seen whether a return to AW sparks this former C&D scorer back to life.

Forecasts

Ganesha (4/1), Water Of Leith (4/1), Bibendum (9/2), Our Absent Friends (6/1), Harb (17/2), Thunderstorm Katie (9/1), Carlton And Co (9/1), High Opinion (12/1), Good Point (18/1), Lady Of The Garr (28/1), Tickets (28/1), Invincible Annice (33/1), Stroxx (80/1)

WATER OF LEITH has been better than his recent form figures suggest and is worth chancing back in a Class 6. Carlton And Co arrives at the top of his game and is second choice ahead of Ganesha, who was back on song when runner-up over C&D earlier in the month.
