Forecasts

Mutawatheb (7/2), Via Egnatia (7/2), Sharp Defence (6/1), Areen Heart (8/1), Masham Star (9/1), Rebel De Lope (9/1), Aventinus (11/1), Arc Royal (14/1), Perfect Madge (16/1), Letmestopyouthere (25/1), Mailshot (25/1)

Verdict

VIA EGNATIA can return to the form that saw him win a maiden comfortably at Newmarket last year and connections had a winner here on Wednesday. It would be no surprise to see Sharp Defence run well under a penalty if the ground stays on the fast side while Rebel De Lope should come on for his recent reappearance at Sandown.
