Forecasts

Grandee (11/4), Groveman (4/1), Gabrial The One (9/2), Red Force One (9/2), Cape Coast (5/1), Sassie (12/1), Bolder Bob (12/1), Regal Mirage (22/1), Pilansberg (150/1)

Cape Coast is the wildcard in here, he looked progressive when last spotted but that was in 2017. He's still with Mark Johnston, that's a positive, but he may well come on for this first day back at school. Gabrial The One stays further and comes here off a pleasing win on the Tapeta at Newcastle that puts him in the mix but there was plenty to like in GRANDEE's comeback third at Newmarket. He looked likely to improve for it and the winner has gone in again since, so he gets the nod. Groveman is in form while Sassie won in the autumn from 3lb lower and isn't discounted.
