Forecasts

Pillar (11/4), Sweetest Taboo (11/4), Battleroftheboyne (7/1), Shelbe (8/1), Iconic Figure (8/1), Sartori (9/1), Mr Michael (10/1), Olaudah (12/1), Slaney River Run (20/1), Bussa (25/1), Accladora (28/1), Sadie Babes (33/1), Gopsies Daughter (40/1), Art World (50/1)

Verdict

Shelbe ran an impressive race here recently and should be in good heart but this 5f trip is a total shot in the dark and that tempers any enthusiasm to put her forward. Mr Michael has been running well enough recently to suggest he'll be involved at the business end off a reduced mark while Olaudah is also much lower in the ratings than when fading off the front end in his handicap bow in October. Pillar is probably the form pick on his close second over 6f at Wolverhampton two start ago but a tentative vote goes to ICONIC FIGURE. He came close in a maiden at this trip previously and has dropped to an appealing mark now while his claiming rider knows how to steer one home around here from a prime draw.
  1. Iconic Figure
  2. Pillar
  3. Mr Michael
