Forecasts

The King (11/8), Downdraft (11/4), Giuseppe Garibaldi (4/1), Altra Vita (6/1), Tritonix (12/1), Utah (25/1), Noble Expression (66/1)

Verdict

DOWNDRAFT has a bit to find on official figures but won with a bit in hand last time and the suspicions is that there is more to come from the four-year-old. Altra Vita is an interesting challenger from a stable in red hot form who do well with their raids here and looks a big danger. The King takes a bit of a drop in class but was a shade disappointing last time and may have to settle for third best.
  1. Downdraft
  2. Altra Vita
  3. The King
