Forecasts

Two Summers (9/4), Oriental Lilly (7/2), One Last Hug (4/1), Cheese The One (9/2), Freedom Flyer (6/1), Claim The Stars (15/2), Basholo (10/1), Aikido (12/1), Stay Smart (14/1), Dick Datchery (16/1), Muddy Lynn (20/1), Nodsasgoodasawink (25/1), Essencial (40/1), Roman Blaze (66/1)

Verdict

Despite a question mark over the suitability of the drying ground, FREEDOM FLYER looks the safest option. He's never been the easiest to predict but hasn't done much wrong in 4 starts this year. Dick Datchery is rather hit-and-miss, too, but this multiple C&D winner would be a threat if bouncing back on debut for new yard following a wind op. Cheese The One is third choice.

  1. FREEDOM FLYER (IRE)
  2. DICK DATCHERY (IRE)
  3. CHEESE THE ONE
