Forecasts

Burj Malinka (9/2), Blazing Son (9/2), Russco (5/1), The Gay Blade (13/2), Elladora (7/1), Ramon Di Loria (10/1), Mighty Gurkha (10/1), Selby's Pride (11/1), Secret Road (12/1), Glorious Rio (20/1)

Verdict

MIGHTY GURKHA was below par at Kempton last time but this is less competitive and he's on a good mark on the pick of this season's form. Elladora often runs well here so is feared most ahead of Blazing Son.

  1. MIGHTY GURKHA (IRE)
  2. ELLADORA
  3. BLAZING SON
