Forecasts

The Amber Fort (85/40), Varsovian (4/1), Amazing Grazing (5/1), Major Crispies (15/2), Ballymore Castle (9/1), Trotter (12/1), Sterling Silva (12/1), Mehdi (12/1), Monumental Man (18/1), Celerity (200/1)

Plenty of these have been capable of decent handicap form in the past and this isn’t a bad event for the grade and it’s hard to rule out many of the field. Amazing Grazing will appreciate a return to this C&D where he has won before and he looks to be one of the leading players along with Varsovian although that one may well appreciate 7f better. Sterling Silva may need the run having his first run for his new yard while neither Ballymore Castle nor Major Crispies are the easiest to win with. THE AMBER FORT is hardly a winning machine but he has some good recent form here and might be able to add to his one previous win dropped in grade.
