Forecasts

Narcissistic (7/4), Thermistocles (5/2), Cut The Mustard (3/1), Catwalk King (4/1), Buck A Trend (16/1), Young Paddymc (25/1), Gliondar Mo Chroi (50/1), Stucker Hill (50/1), Doctor P's Getaway (66/1)

Verdict

CATWALK KING has shown plenty of ability in his career to date, particularly when tackling a testing surface and he stayed on well when outpaced on the turn for home last time. His prior run saw him finish one place in front Thermistocles who should give another good account in a first-time tongue-tie. The market support for Cut The Mustard on both her career starts is likely significant and she may do better over this longer trip here.
  1. Catwalk King
  2. Thermistocles
  3. Cut The Mustard
