Forecasts

Charlie Papa Lima (11/4), Spoilt Rotten (11/4), Royal Act (3/1), Badilou (10/1), Tikkinthebox (16/1), Brinestine (16/1), Kahdian (16/1), Smoking Dixie (20/1), Presenting Berkley (22/1), Darloa (25/1)

Verdict

Royal Act loos the one to beat after a couple of victories but he faces a harder task here and may be vulnerable. SMOKING DIXIE is unexposed and showed enough last time to think he's got a future over fences. The hood and better ground should both help his cause and the yard are in cracking form. He's given the vote in an open contest. Kahdian is winless so far but would have a decent chance if improving a little on his chase debut last time. He can get in the places, with Charlie Papa Lima, Spoilt Rotten and Badilou all worthy of consideration too.
  1. Smoking Dixie
  2. Kahdian
  3. Charlie Papa Lima
