Forecasts

Gloriosus (10/11), Benjamin Thomas (11/8), Dan Troop (4/1), Don Valentino (6/1), Valentino Boy (15/2), Bonnie Gals (12/1), Lady Volante (66/1)

The two debutantes Gloriosus and Don Valentino can’t be left out of the mix here as this is a weak contest overall with very little strength in depth amongst those who have run. The two of that group that make most appeal would be BENJAMIN THOMAS and Dan Troop with the former looking a fairly solid sort based in his three runs so far.
