Forecasts

Hattons Hill (5/2), Moorlands Mist (7/2), Shake It Up (9/2), Onderun (9/2), Lowanbehold (6/1), Corskeagh Express (14/1)

A fight of the very fittest, run in testing conditions which is therefore most unlikely to make for pleasant viewing. Shake It Up has a welter burden to carry following his Cartmel success for Richard Ford in August, whilst the Hexham specialist Hattons Hill will put his love for this track to the ultimate test now stepping up one whole mile in trip. ONDERUN shaped with some promise on stable debut at Ayr recently, and likely much stronger for that reappearance looks to be the type that will thrive for the switch to the Bewley's. He has previous form over marathon trips (albeit not quite this far) for Emma Lavelle, so is just the pick in a tough race, where a market move for handicap debutant Corskeagh Express could also prove illuminating.
