Forecasts

Poli Roi (4/6), Miracle In Medinah (6/1), Stowaway Forever (7/1), Whispering Affair (8/1), Bennaway (10/1), Blue Empyrean (10/1), Castle Clyde (20/1), Asbury Boss (33/1), Summons To Court (50/1), Central Court (66/1), Val Di Comino (100/1), Dark Du Tabert Aa (100/1)

Verdict

Asbury Boss could be the one to take the field along in the early stages here in a race that won't take a lot of winning. Stowaway Forever who will be up with the pace and the experienced Whispering Affair can hit the frame while preference is for the Gordon Elliott/Davy Russell charge, POLI ROI who is likely to be a warm order.
  1. Poli Roi
  2. Stowaway Forever
  3. Whispering Affair
