Forecasts
Nearly Caught (7/2), Pallasator (7/2), Battersea (4/1), Harbour Law (11/2), Sweet Selection (15/2), Prince Of Arran (10/1), Maleficent Queen (10/1), Vent De Force (33/1)
A good staying contest that features last year’s St Leger winner although with a penalty for that win Harbour Law will do well to win this first time up. Battersea has rather been forced into this grade given his handicap mark and if Pallasator can behave himself pre-race he’ll have a good chance here. Sweet Selection could well continue her upward curve but with the lack of a pace challenge in this a NEARLY CAUGHT may well be the one to side with over a trip that suits.
