Forecasts

Gustavian (4/1), Dashel Drasher (9/2), Does He Know (9/2), Credo (5/1), Copperhead (5/1), Blackjack Magic (10/1), Ask Me Early (12/1), Cloudy Glen (18/1)

Verdict

GUSTAVIAN is potentially well handicapped dropped into veteran company for the first time so should make a bold bid if over his heavy fall at Sandown last week. Copperhead is an obvious threat having won the Series Final at Market Rasen, with Dashel Drasher and Does He Know also considered.

  1. GUSTAVIAN (IRE)
  2. COPPERHEAD
  3. DASHEL DRASHER
