Forecasts
Gendarme (9/4), Agent Gibbs (4/1), Butterfield (4/1), Roc Astrale (5/1), Millie May (12/1), Cougar Kid (12/1), General Brook (16/1), Dimmesdale (18/1), Another Go (25/1)
The absence of solid profiles in this opener means that care should be exercised although GENERAL BROOK is given a positive mention on the back of his winning form last year and it may well have been that he needed a break eventually; his record fresh last year is a positive. Gendarme looked threatening last time in a C&D handicap and a repeat of that form with the blinkers now being applied for the first time would be good enough to take him close. Cougar Kid has been in good form over timber and if he can transfer that form he would enter the equation despite the trip looking a little short based on his hurdling preferences. Roc Astrale can’t be dismissed off a sliding mark.
