Forecasts

Creative Control (5/2), Massini Man (11/4), Radetzky March (4/1), First Account (13/2), Enemenemynemo (7/1), Gris Gris Top (9/1), Broadway Joe (12/1), Jack Devine (12/1), The Ferry Master (14/1), Pitempton Power (28/1), Taxmeifyoucan (33/1)

Verdict

MASSINI MAN has thrived for the switch to Sandy Thomson and is weighted to make it 2-3 for his current yard after his excellent second here last time out. Radetzky March is feared most on the back of his Market Rasen success, with C&D scorer Creative Control another who needs factoring in along with the consistent Broadway Joe.

  1. MASSINI MAN
  2. RADETZKY MARCH (IRE)
  3. CREATIVE CONTROL (IRE)
