Forecasts
Time To Study (15/8), Mister Manduro (7/2), Alabaster (4/1), Euro Nightmare (13/2), Somnambulist (10/1), Look My Way (11/1), Cray (18/1), Taxmeifyoucan (18/1), Albert's Back (25/1), The Blues Master (40/1)
No surprise that this is a competitive affair with a fair few improvers on show with some decent entries. Both The Queens Vase entered Alabaster and TimeTo Study are of interest but there must be a slight question mark about the track suiting the former and the latter doesn’t look the most straightforward of horses. Look My Way needs to start a bit better as getting too far back here isn’t an option and there are some alternatives to the front end of the market with CRAY and Taxmeifyoucan being two at bigger prices who appeal. The former ran a nice race on handicap debut and for a yard going well isn’t harshly treated for that win and the latter ran a far better race than it appeared at York last time and both could outrun their odds.
