Forecasts

Go Rimbaud (5/2), Commanding Officer (5/2), Strength of Spirit (10/3), See Blue (13/2), Spiritoftheblues (12/1), Gold Dawn (12/1), Dunkeld Dreamer (18/1), Mr Seagull (18/1), Electrical (33/1)

Verdict

GO RIMBAUD was much improved when making a winning return at Kempton earlier this month and he's fancied to follow up. Fellow handicap debutant Commanding Officer has run well on both starts here and could be the main danger with cheekpieces fitted, while it's unlikely we've seen the best of Strength of Spirit, either.

  1. GO RIMBAUD
  2. COMMANDING OFFICER (GER)
  3. STRENGTH OF SPIRIT (IRE)
