Forecasts

Asisaid (11/2), Medici Pass (6/1), Whatharm (6/1), Lasting Peace (7/1), Bright Dick (8/1), James Henry (8/1), Swiss Army Officer (10/1), Bellick (10/1), Monzoon (10/1), Old Peculier (14/1), Stop On Red (14/1), Rockbury Lad (16/1), Vivezza (25/1), Andrassy (25/1), Inablink (25/1), Contradanza (33/1), Bride Tree (33/1), Carla's Kodi Bear (33/1), Cant Catch Camacho (50/1)

Verdict

Provided there's some give underfoot, ASISAID may well add to his Naas success in July. He responded well to the first-time blinkers that day (retained here) and a 3 lb rise looks very fair indeed. Whatharm sole win on turf to date was gained over this C&D and he shaped as though the return to this trip would help when a staying-on third over 7f back here last month. The 8-y-o heads the list of dangers, with James Henry, Medici Pass and Swiss Army Officer others to consider.
