Forecasts

Sexton Blake (5/2), Hannington (9/2), Samphire Coast (5/1), Pool House (6/1), Hold Firm (8/1), Mowhoob (10/1), Cleverconversation (14/1), Lord Of The Storm (14/1), Sir Lancelott (16/1), Hustle (25/1)

Verdict

Most of these are hard to win with, so siding with HOLD FIRM does have health warning attached. However, he gets on well with Gabrielle Malune and her 7lb claim can be a decisive tool if, as expected, this goes down to the wire. Pool House would be dangerous to leave out of the equation in this company and is a worthy contender for any shortlist, while Mowhoob seems to raise his game when he pays a visit to this course, and shouldn't underestimated under his featherweight.
  1. Hold Firm
  2. Pool House
  3. Mowhoob
