Forecasts

Kingofmerrows (15/8), Bernie's Boy (5/2), Toolatetodelegate (11/4), Tawaafoq (4/1), Aegean Bounty (100/1)

This is not a race to overindulge in with question marks against all the runners. Kingofmerrows is best in at the weights by far and would be facing a much sterner test if this was a handicap. A visor may correct his wayward tendencies, but he looks a risk at the likely odds. Bernie's Boy is a dual winner who arrives in form. He has missed the break on his last two starts and can ill afford to do so now dropping below his optimum distances. TAWAAFOQ has proved disappointing so far , but a switch to a smaller yard appears to have benefitted him. It is usually significant when this rider is engaged to partner one of their horses and a tentative nod is directed in his direction. Toolatetodelegate has a stiff task at the weights, but at least has proven speed at the trip and can be expected to give an honest account.
