Forecasts

Time To Reason (5/4), Becker (15/8), It Must Be Faith (4/1), Kath's Lustre (9/2), Tomshalfbrother (7/1), Solar Park (10/1), Waneen (10/1)

Only a handful of horses make an amount of appeal in this contest and while the top weight BECKER must give 7lb to his nearest rival, the five-year-old has resurrected his form nicely this season and with a smaller field and previous C&D winning form in this, he could still have more improvement in him. The main rival looks to be Time To Reason, who is being given a chance by the handicapper off of his current mark. While the likes of Tomshalfbrother and Kath's Lustre have likeable form but must improve on their current ratings slightly to trouble the judge.
