Forecasts

Almoghared (10/11), Podemos (11/4), Beer With The Boys (13/2), Smashed (15/2), Kings Inn (12/1), Saint Mac (25/1), Oenophile (33/1), Colenso (33/1), Admiral Kid (33/1), Samson's Reach (33/1), Berry De Carjac (50/1), Duration (66/1), Triple First (100/1), Snoop (100/1), Saintmont (100/1), Island Fox (100/1)

Despite the big field there isn’t much strength in depth in this and the majority of the field would be better off in handicaps. ALMOGHARED is bred in the purple and as long as he copes with the very different conditions from his debut he should take this with Podemos the main danger. He needs to settle better to fulfil his potential although the better ground should help him do that. Kings Inn is an interesting sort along with Smashed from the Haggas yard who hasn’t been seen in a racecourse for a fair while one to watch in the market.
