Forecasts

Bracken Brae (4/5), See And Be Seen (9/2), Ruler Of The Nile (5/1), Arabian Oasis (8/1), Deinonychus (10/1)

Verdict

BRACKEN BRAE looks the straightforward answer to a race where the profiles of her opponents raise serious doubts about their ability to win a race at this time. Her fitness is assured and she has been running to a consistently better level than her rivals have achieved in their recent races. Ruler Of The Nile looks held judged by their recent meeting at Chelmsford. The headgear is removed and he may prove a bigger danger than See and Be Seen. Sylvester Kirk's charge failed to add to his career haul of nine victories last term. He starts the current campaign on an attractive mark but he may need the run. Deinonychus represents a capable trainer and a market move for him would be significant.
  1. Bracken Brae
  2. Ruler Of The Nile
