Forecasts

Colt Lightning (3/1), Clondaw Bisto (4/1), Plantagenet (9/2), Vodka All The Way (11/2), Martabot (7/1), Holdbacktheriver (8/1), Only Gorgeous (14/1), Just Spot (20/1), Scrupuleux (33/1)

Verdict

None of these are as progressive as Colt Lighting who bids to complete a hat-trick. A 13lb rise for a hard fought success last time is probably more of an advert for his trainer's skills rather than the achievement itself and he may be vulnerable under topweight. HOLDBACKTHERIVER shaped well at Sandown before finding the drop to 2m against him last time. With his rider proving good value for her 7lb claim he can take advantage of the weight he receives. Vodka All The Way and Clondaw Bisto look best of the rest, although any support for Just Spot, under her featherweight, would make her more interesting.
  1. Holdbacktheriver
  2. Colt Lightning
  3. Vodka All The Way
