Forecasts

Copper West (9/2), Miles To Milan (9/2), Slanelough (5/1), Durbanville (8/1), Amadeus Rox (11/1), Saint Cajetan (11/1), Ouro Branco (16/1), Astaroland (16/1), Bandsman (16/1), Master Vintage (20/1), Scrafton (20/1), Princess Tara (20/1), Sommervieu (40/1), Ruaraidh Hugh (100/1)

Verdict

Competitive fayre to open the card, with both Bandsman and Slanelough very interesting now dropping to this level and both have claims. Durbanville enters calculations along with Ouro Branco, though the suggestion is bottom weight AMADEUS ROX. Alan King's juvenile has the potential to win races and looks as though he will be suited by this step up in trip, while he looks more than capable from this mark. Several others would be of interest if supported here, so check the market with regard to Miles To Milan, Scrafton and Sommervieu.
  1. Amadeus Rox
  2. Slanelough
  3. Miles To Milan
