Forecasts

Call The Taxie (5/4), Gettysburg Address (4/1), Mon Lino (5/1), Moroval (5/1), Polymath (12/1), Leader's Choice (16/1), Goose Man (25/1), Benefit Jewel (50/1), Flynnvincible (66/1), Indian Summer (66/1), Vociferously (66/1)

Verdict

CALL THE TAXIE has been threatening to grab one of these for a while now and might well get the job done this time. He's become a bit expensive to follow but has also found some fair markers in his way. He sets the standard in this and is taken to breakthrough. Gettysburg Address has also been toiling with the notion of winning a race like this but must concede weight all round today. Mon Lino should appreciate this longer trip while Polymath could improve on a poor showing first time out and any money for Benefit Jewel would be noted. 1. Call The Taxie 2. Gettysburg Address 3. Mon Lino
