Forecast
Jan Maat (15/8), Cool Colonnade (11/4), Irish Lass (5/1), Mandarin Monarch (7/1), Markhan (7/1), Chisholm Trail (8/1), Knock On Steel (10/1), Light Of My Life (12/1), Motcomb Street (16/1)
Verdict
The nature of the race conditions make this quite a tight event, and MANDARIN MONARCH can take advantage of a big weight concession from most of his rivals after a handicap win last time. Jan Maat is a big danger after winning well on hurdles debut, and Chisholm Trail is another unexposed sort who should progress.
