Forecasts

Cayman Tai (7/4), Kirkdale (9/4), Valsharah (11/2), Lequinto (10/1), Pianoforte (10/1), Brian The Snail (12/1), Punchbowl Flyer (16/1), Due Date (40/1), Megaphone (80/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but it could pay to side with CAYMAN TAI who looked an unlucky loser when runner-up at Newcastle last time and hails from a yard among the winners. Kirkdale is weighted to have a big say after a break and rates next best, although both Punchbowl Flyer and Valsharah are also well in the mix.

  1. Cayman Tai7/4
  2. Kirkdale9/4
  3. Punchbowl Flyer16/1
