Forecasts

Sanibel Island (2/1), Derulo (11/4), Ballela Boy (4/1), Kilfenora (9/2), Bitview Colin (11/2), Shadow Catcher (8/1), On Impulse (8/1), Little Stevie (16/1), Lofgren (20/1)

Verdict

Quite an open looking race for the money. A chance is taken with ON IMPULSE, who didn’t shape at all badly on his first run back after an absence and on old form, would hold every chance. He has less to prove in terms of trip and conditions that a few. Shadow Catcher bounced back to form last time out and will like the drying ground, and he and the improving Kilfenora can fill out the places.
  1. On Impulse
