Forecasts

Complicit (6/4), Lily's Prince (3/1), Arbourfield (9/2), Almoner (5/1), Oor Jock (5/1), The Lords Walk (6/1), Guanabara Bay (7/1), Reddot Express (12/1), Fastidious (20/1), Atlas (25/1), Jan Steen (33/1), The Ice Meister (40/1), Bainne (50/1), Eleuthera (50/1), Pyla (50/1), Anania (50/1), Dont Have It Then (50/1)

Verdict

Lily's Prince has been a model of consistency recently and should run another strong race but is perhaps just too high in the ratings now. Almoner shed the maiden tag in impressive style on a recent visit to Kempton but he may be forced to settle for minor honours on this handicap debut by the in-form GUANABARA BAY. He was flying at the finish over 6f when winning here last Friday and with his handy claimer on board now isn’t unfairly treated ahead of this step up in trip. Atlas is an interesting contender on just his second start here having previously shaped with some promise while The Lords Walk was an eye-catching third a week ago on handicap debut and is respected with potentially more up his sleeve still over a furlong shorter. 1. Guanabara Bay 2. Almoner 3. The Lords Walk
