Forecasts

Kynren (7/2), Mountain Angel (4/1), Hakeem (4/1), Chiefofchiefs (5/1), Fastar (10/1), Frank Bridge (16/1), First Selection (16/1), Mandarin (20/1), Windsor Beach (25/1), Burrumbeet (25/1), Chevallier (25/1), Contrapposto (25/1), Cliffs Of Capri (33/1), Franco's Secret (100/1)

MOUNTAIN ANGEL resumed this season with an impressive victory and he is taken to follow-up that success in this concluding contest. The selection has to defy a 9lb rise in the weights but looks capable of doing so and in the process improving on his trainers 20% strike-rate (7/35) in recent weeks. Kynren would probably prefer the ground softer than is forecast here but he has won on a sound surface in the past and can finish second ahead of Fastar who was the winner of his final two starts last year.
