Forecasts

Wajaaha (5/4), The Very Man (9/4), Momus (9/2), Road To Dubai (8/1), Texard (14/1), Quantatmental (22/1), Dollys Destination (25/1), Jimmy Two Times (28/1), Think Positive (50/1), Kasakh Noir (66/1), Causey Arch (80/1)

Verdict

Although they do not appear to have the best chance on form, this may well rest between THE VERY MAN and Wajaaha who both impressed when winning last time out. The ease with which Wajaaha obliged over 2m, on just his second start for his new stable, was striking but The Very Man’s win came when trying 2m3f for the first time and he has significantly less to prove regarding stamina. The selection is one of three candidates for Gordon Elliott. Momus has place claims for Noel Meade but his maiden status over hurdles will probably last a bit longer.
  1. The Very Man
  2. Wajaaha
  3. Momus
