Forecasts

Holy Motivation (2/1), Rainy City (7/2), Todd (9/2), Echo Express (5/1), Hastrubal (11/2), Gallahers Cross (16/1), Some Ambition (28/1)

Verdict

Hastrubal will come good for Sandy Thompson sooner rather than later and isn't out of this, but Gordon Elliott looks to have the answer with HOLY MOTIVATION, who only need repeat her run here last time to hold a first-rate chance. Echo Express will be dangerous if he lasts out over this 3m trip, but that's not a given. Rainy City might prefer quicker ground but that goes for one or two here, and he might be best of the rest.
