Forecasts

Alaminos (7/4), Temple Of Athena (9/2), Silent Strike (9/2), Ruby's Angel (5/1), Watcha Snoop (10/1), Star Material (11/1), Angel Love (11/1), Go Vince Go (12/1), Tricky Tel (16/1), Cherry Baker (25/1), Do Bronxs (25/1), Saffron Dandy (25/1), Evie Ross (28/1), Arduis Invicta (50/1)

Verdict

ALAMINOS looked unlucky when runner-up at Pontefract on seasonal/handicap debut, so he is taken to resume winning ways and provide his trainer with back-to-back victories in this race. Course winner Temple of Athena could go well back in a handicap, with returning pair Ruby's Angel and Angel Love completing the shortlist.

  1. ALAMINOS
  2. TEMPLE OF ATHENA
  3. RUBY'S ANGEL (IRE)
