Forecasts

Buveur D'Air (1/4), Irving (9/2), Rayvin Black (12/1), Hurry Henry (150/1)

Verdict

While Buveur D'air is likely to be of warm order with an unexposed, exciting profile, there's little chance he will offer any value and IRVING may be the one to side with. He has proven his liking for these conditions and he produced something near his best when winning a Newcastle Grade 1 event two starts back so there's a chance his greater experience will give him an edge over the aforementioned six-year-old. Rayvin Black would be dangerous if allowed an easy lead but he would likely need a career best to land this. 1. Irving 2. Buveur D'air 3. Rayvin Black
