Forecasts

Ride The Lightning (7/2), Paris Magic (7/2), Midtech Star (4/1), Tetradrachm (5/1), El Campeon (5/1), Luv U Whatever (12/1), Cavalieri (12/1), The Twisler (16/1)

Verdict

El Campeon has proved effective on the AW and should give another good account but there's a suspicion the handicapper may be starting to get a hold of him so RIDE THE LIGHTNING is narrowly preferred having only gone up 1lb for his most recent win. He seems to be thriving of late and it would be no surprise if this four-year-old has a bit more improvement in him. David Simcock does well with his stayers and Tetradrachm may be capable of running a place provided he's ready to go after a break. 1. Ride The Lightning 2. El Campeon 3. Tetradrachm
