Forecasts

Royal Reserve (11/4), Diamonds A Dancing (9/2), Spinart (9/2), Lean On Pete (7/1), I'm Super Too (12/1), American Hustle (12/1), Royal Holiday (12/1), Candesta (14/1), Inspector Norse (14/1), Euro Mac (20/1), Graceful Act (33/1), Pivotman (33/1), Belle Peinture (66/1)

These type of events generally make little appeal to punters, but there are plenty more that can be counted out in this race than in. There should be no real reason as to why Diamonds A Dancing can't again see off his Nottingham rivals which include Spinart, Graceful Act and Inspector Norse. Westwood regular Lean On Pete should figure high on the shortlist despite the drop in trip, but the obvious standout contender is the recent David O'Meara trained acquisition ROYAL RESERVE. He bounced right back to form on his stable debut at Wolverhampton last week and despite dropping back in trip looks very well treated on turf compared to synthetics.
