Forecasts

Arthur Mac (5/4), Time For Another (5/2), Speedy Cargo (10/3), The Steward (12/1), Imperial Elixir (14/1), Oscar Nomination (20/1), Whiteoak Stroller (22/1), Sir Runs A Lot (66/1), Chosen Flame (100/1), Tab Hogarth (150/1)

Verdict

As SPEEDY CARGO may be allowed to dictate the pace as he likes, the gelding could provide the key to a tricky little race to fathom. The five-year-old showed improvement last time out and could be hard to peg back if allowed an easy time on the front-end. Time For Another is less exposed and has to merit a second looks in the betting with Richard Johnson booked for the ride; while no one would argue that The Steward doesn't deserve a change of fortune and is another bear in mind. Arthur Mac is unexposed and completes the shortlist.
  1. Sir Runs A Lot
  2. Time For Another
  3. The Steward
