Forecasts

No Drama This End (4/9), Kalkbrenner (9/2), Starzand (15/2), Klimt Madrik (9/1), Tiptoptim (12/1), Montemares (20/1), Giantsgrave (20/1), Destination Dubai (20/1), Etna Bianco (25/1)

Verdict

The Paul Nicholls stranglehold on this race ended 12 months ago but in NO DRAMA THIS END, he has the perfect candidate with a brace of ready Grade 2 wins this autumn marking him down as a top prospect. Kalkbrenner is expected to reverse C&D form with Klimt Madrik on these 6 lb better terms but a bigger threat to the selection may emerge in the form of Starzand.

  1. NO DRAMA THIS END (IRE)
  2. STARZAND (IRE)
  3. KALKBRENNER (IRE)
