Forecasts

Rathlin Rose (4/1), Bigbadjohn (4/1), Horatio Hornblower (9/2), Junction Fourteen (7/1), Exitas (8/1), Josses Hill (8/1), Loose Chips (11/1), Uhlan Bute (14/1), Van Gogh Du Granit (16/1), Regal Flow (25/1)

Verdict

An interesting race, but all the field has some sort of question to answer and the suggestion is to side with EXITAS. Apart from recent form, he has plenty going for him, and a chance is taken that he can bounce back from this dangerous mark. Josses Hill and Junction Fourteen have strong place credentials, with Bigbadjohn a potential fly in the ointment, and Van Gogh Du Granit an interesting runner.
