Forecasts

Monks Mead (7/4), Blackbrook (5/2), Bear To Dream (9/2), River Wharfe (5/1), Rotation (10/1), Manton Road (20/1), Miraflores (150/1), Run Joy Run (150/1)

Verdict

BLACKBROOK remains a maiden, but he doesn't have particularly high mileage and is appealing on the back of what was arguably his best effort yet when third over 7f here recently, leaving the impression that the return to this trip would be in his favour. Next on the list is Monks Mead, who hasn't got his head in front for a while but he's on a good mark and has shown signs that his turn may be near in recent months. River Wharfe is also considered, along with Bear To Dream.

  1. BLACKBROOK
  2. MONKS MEAD
  3. RIVER WHARFE
