Forecasts

Cappacurry Zak (6/4), White Arm (9/2), Paper Lantern (5/1), Oscar Lantern (8/1), Do Be Doin' (10/1), Bothair Clei (12/1), Toubaloo (14/1), Fergiethelegend (20/1)

Verdict

Paper Lantern has been improving all winter and cannot be ruled out from doing so again, but he looks worth taking on at the likely odds over a trip that he is not yet proven at. Preference is for CAPPACURRY ZAK, who has also been steadily on the rise and does have proven stamina. Oscar Lantern looks next best.
  1. Cappacurry Zak
  2. Paper Lantern
  3. Oscar Lantern
