Forecasts

Baratablet (7/2), Captain Butler (4/1), Brookside La (4/1), Speiriuil (5/1), Judicial Deference (13/2), Jericoacoara (7/1), Rock Dj (12/1), Eloi Du Puy (14/1), Mountain Molly (16/1), Coconut Splash (18/1), Wasthatok (22/1), Thank You Blue (25/1), Bathgate (28/1), Rauzan (40/1), Kingston Narcissus (50/1), The Navigator (66/1)

Verdict

This is wide open but it could pay to side with Dan Skelton's upwardly-mobile BROOKSIDE LA who is taken to resume winning ways on the back of an excellent Haydock third (form worked out well) after a break. Captain Butler is weighted to have a big say and could emerge as the chief threat, although Mountain Molly, Speiriuil, Judicial Difference and Eloi du Puy all need factoring into this highly competitive handicap, too.

  1. BROOKSIDE LA (IRE)
  2. CAPTAIN BUTLER (IRE)
  3. MOUNTAIN MOLLY (IRE)
