Forecasts

Redemptive Power (7/2), Dark Viper (4/1), Munroh (7/1), Romantic Samurai (7/1), Distillate (7/1), Nedita (10/1), Academy Winner (10/1), Red Special (10/1), Zahee (12/1), A Daughtersdelight (12/1), Shining Aitch (16/1), Tassarolo (20/1), Belles Feuilles (20/1), Saxon Kingdom (25/1), Bridge The Gap (50/1), Man Is King (50/1), Brackloon Bay (50/1)

Verdict

REDEMPTIVE POWER failed to justify support in handicap company here last time but it wasn't a bad effort and this 3-y-o is favoured by the weights down in class. He looks the one to beat, though Dark Viper is a threat with 1m expected to suit. Academy Winner can also get involved.
