Forecasts

Black Scorpion (3/1), Tongie (10/3), Hand Of The King (7/1), Instant Smile (8/1), Crosshue Boy (9/1), Flemenstorm (10/1), Rightback Atya (12/1), Aranhill Rascal (14/1), Positive Approach (14/1), Capture The Drama (16/1), Captain Bizarro (16/1), Patsio (20/1), Jonathan Wild (33/1)

Plenty of willing participants when it comes to the early lead here with Capture The Drama, Captain Bizarro and Hand Of The King possibly holding the advantage initially. The pace will be a huge benefit to the likes of Black Scorpion winner of two of his seven chase starts including a fine 9L win last time out and course winner that has won over this trip TONGIE whose yard has a 45% win and place strike-rate at this meeting in the last four years.
