Forecasts

Sourdough (11/4), War Hawk (7/2), Anglophile (5/1), Great David (6/1), Gentle Warrior (8/1), Epimeteo (11/1), Darla's Secret (11/1), Pinkarizon (20/1), Manyana Blue (25/1)

Verdict

WAR HAWK was well on top at the finish at Lingfield last week and should take a bit of stopping turned out again under a penalty, although there are a few potential improvers against him in a typically interesting early 3-y-o handicap. Hughie Morrison has won this race before and Sourdough very much has the profile of one who can go on to better things this year. Chelmsford novice winner Epimeteo completes the shortlist.

  1. WAR HAWK (IRE)
  2. SOURDOUGH
  3. EPIMETEO
