Forecasts

Akula (7/2), Orthodox Lad (5/1), Hill Fort (6/1), Innoko (6/1), Dormouse (7/1), Trapper Peak (8/1), Monday Club (10/1), Zante (12/1), Friendship Bay (12/1), Master Vintage (16/1), Nebula Storm (20/1), Miss Benefitz (25/1), Moss Street (50/1)

Verdict

A very tricky race with not much in the way of ability on show but ZANTE may be able to claim it. Gary Moore did not take long in getting a win out of the five-year-old and although the race has not worked out well, he may still be able to improve his charge. Hill Fort gives weight away all round but he is back on a more attractive mark and could do better than of late. Nebula Storm and Orthodox Lad both have some sort of claim, while if there is to be a fly in the ointment then Master Vintage could fit the bill. 1. Zante 2. Hill Fort 3. Master Vintage
