Forecasts

Count Meribel (5/6), Grand Turina (2/1), Make My Heart Fly (7/1), Lerichi Belle (14/1), Sugar Mix (16/1), Burrenbridge Hotel (25/1), Miliair (33/1), St Andrews (50/1), Spin Point (50/1), Marble Mist (100/1), Subtle Soldier (100/1), Mr Standfast (100/1), Helmsley Flyer (200/1), So Stroppy Poppy (200/1)

Verdict

On the face of it, very much a two horse race between Grand Turina and COUNT MERIBEL who both arrive here on the back of chasing home two smart rivals at Ludlow and Towcester respectively. Of the two, a marginal preference is for the strong-galloping latter on the basis that he he is more proven on the likely testing ground and also due to the fact that the form of his Towcester second has been boosted by the fourth (Ardmayle) winning twice since. Lerichi Belle looks the most interesting of a modest remainder.
  1. Count Meribel
  2. Grand Turina
  3. Lerichi Belle
