Forecasts

Eolian (1/1), Star Maker (11/2), Mr Davies (13/2), Laureate (9/1), Mr Scaff (10/1), King Of Scotland (16/1), Pondering (16/1), Haldaw (33/1)

Verdict

Most of these have chances of one form or another, but perhaps MR DAVIES could provide the answer. He has been beaten by a moderate distance on each of his starts so far but shaped encouragingly over this trip at Doncaster last time and a first time tongue-tie could make all the difference. He is the selection ahead of Eolian, who made a promising reappearance last time out when he may have needed the run for a new stable, while Pondering ran her best race to date over this trip last month, and may have gone even closer than a 1¼L third if her rider hadn't dropped his whip.
  1. Mr Davies
  2. Eolian
  3. Pondering
