Forecasts

Cooler Than Me (5/6), Diamond Days (9/2), Gorcombe And Wise (11/2), Man Oh Man (7/1), Talap (9/1), Pillar The Poet (16/1), Harksman (25/1), Marhaba Million (40/1), Joker Jack (50/1), All Night Parking (125/1), Bowmans Dream (250/1)

Verdict

The hat-trick seeking COOLER THAN ME is the only horse in this field that could be described as upwardly-mobile and he should take advantage of a good opportunity to notch a third successive handicap. Talap, runner-up behind the selection over C&D 2 weeks ago can fill the same position, with Diamond Days looking best of the rest.

  1. COOLER THAN ME
  2. TALAP
  3. DIAMOND DAYS (IRE)
