Forecasts

Nathanael Greene (5/2), Hilts (3/1), Trojan Horse (7/2), Charles St (15/2), State Legend (14/1), Zimmerman (16/1), Pons Aelius (20/1), Belle Of Annandale (22/1), Campese (33/1)

Verdict

HILTS did well to run down Zimmerman (winner since) at Redcar having conceded first run and still looks very well treated following a 6 lb rise for that success, especially with further improvement on the cards now upped further in distance. Trojan Horse was value for a little extra over the result when third on handicap debut at Chester and his best days are surely still ahead of him, while Nathanael Greene completes the shortlist.

  1. HILTS (IRE)
  2. TROJAN HORSE (IRE)
  3. NATHANAEL GREENE
