Forecasts

El Matador (9/4), Parole D'oro (7/2), Spioradalta (5/1), Financer (11/2), James McHenry (10/1), Londoner (12/1), Garden Oasis (16/1), Spirit Of Acklam (18/1), Austrian Theory (20/1), Prince Of The Seas (28/1)

Verdict

Jason Hart has struck up an excellent partnership with the ultra-tough 6-y-o SPIORADALTA and returned to this venue, a bounce back to form may well be forthcoming. El Matador is a low-mileage 4-y-o who promises to be suited by this trip so he's second choice, ahead of Londoner.

  1. SPIORADALTA
  2. EL MATADOR (IRE)
