Forecasts

Baltimore Rock (6/4), San Benedeto (2/1), Fair Loch (5/1), Witness In Court (7/1), Solar Impulse (12/1), Indian Temple (25/1)

Verdict

This is a rather disappointing turnout for such a valuable prize, with the majority of these having some questions to answer. Solar Impulse is beginning to look like an expensive purchase on what he has shown so far for new trainer Chris Kellett, but undoubtedly from the same mark as he landed the Grand Annual from in March (140) he'll take some stopping if revived; but that's an almighty if. Similar comments apply to Baltimore Rock who ought to be capable of more based upon his best form in the past, whilst San Benedeto isn't exactly top billing down at Ditcheat. A chance is taken that the more reliable INDIAN TEMPLE can get loose off the front end after shaking off Witness in Court, and with stamina fully proven can lead this under-performing sextet home over this shorter trip of 2 miles. 1. Indian Temple 2. San Benedeto 3. Baltimore Rock
