Forecasts

Republican (5/4), Call Me Harry (7/2), Aurora Thunder (13/2), Theirshegoes (15/2), Sanosuke (10/1), Kiss My Face (11/1), Telhimlisten (14/1), Reserve Judgement (14/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for virtually all of these but REPUBLICAN hails from a yard among the winners so is taken to go in at the first time of asking for his new handler and edge out in-form top-weight Call Me Harry. Theirshegoes and Aurora Thunder are both weighted to have a say too in a competitive handicap.

  1. REPUBLICAN
