Forecasts

Sofia's Rock (1/1), Danehill Kodiac (3/1), Amazing Red (7/2), Second Wave (4/1), Eye of The Storm (8/1), Goldmember (8/1), Jacob Cats (20/1)

A real conundrum presents itself here as a betting puzzle and it’s hard to totally write off any of the field. Sofia’s Rock the sole three-year-old in the race will appreciate the better ground and on his third here on his penultimate he has a good chance especially as his yard won this last year. Eye of The Storm and Second Wave look to have tough enough tasks off their marks while Goldmember makes his handicap debut (belatedly) and that may suit him more than his tasks in a higher grade. AMAZING RED therefore becomes the suggestion here as he bids to follow-up his handicap win and progress again off just a 4lb higher mark.
