Forecasts

Brillare Momento (1/1), Its All Guesswork (9/4), Blairs Cove (11/2), Treackle Tart (12/1), Jabulani (16/1), Shadow's Boy (20/1)

Verdict

Brillare Momento has the potential to be the real class act in this field but has to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Newton Abbott last time out, while Blairs Cove has impressed so far but must concede weight all round. TREACKLE TART took much longer than most of these to get off the mark over hurdles but has shown plenty of improvement through the summer and should enjoy the conditions unless it turns testing.
  1. Treackle Tart
  2. Brillare Momento
