Forecasts

Platform Nineteen (4/5), Well Funded (5/1), Victoriano (6/1), Harry The Norseman (10/1), Kitty's Cove (12/1), Artic Nel (20/1), Triple Genius (22/1), Constraint (25/1), Final Choice (33/1), Geyser (33/1), Sweetest Smile (40/1), Tilsworth Sammy (50/1), Late For The Sky (50/1), Duration (80/1), Interrogation (100/1)

The obvious pick here is Platform Nineteen after he ran away with his race at Beverley last time. However, his 5lb claimer from that day is not on board now, while he also has 6lb more to shoulder for the win. Therefore, we'll take a chance on HARRY THE NORSEMAN, who represents a stable in form and should appreciate this longer trip. Well Funded and Victoriano should also both be involved.
