Forecast
Royalistic (1/1), Cloud Dragon (6/4), Long John Silver (7/2), Mount Cleshar (25/1), Lady Maritime (25/1), Accomplice (40/1), Just Heather (50/1), Khaleefa Bay (50/1)
Verdict
LONG JOHN SILVER can follow up his yards success with another debutant earlier this week by taking this mile contest. The selection's dam was a useful performer at up to 1m2f claiming three Group contests on the flat during her career whilst the trainer and jockeys 22% (22/98) strike rate when teaming up together on the AW is another pointer to his chances. Royalistic is another well-bred unraced colt and the likely favourite can chase home our selection in second while the experienced Cloud Dragon who finished third over this C&D when last seen out can complete the placings.
1. Long John Silver
2. Royalistic
3. Cloud Dragon
