Forecasts

Join The Clan (9/4), Ardmayle (9/4), Open Hearted (5/2), Gold Ingot (8/1), Turban (10/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken that the progressive ARDMAYLE has a bit more to offer despite creeping up the weights and tackling three miles for the first time over regulation fences. Open Hearted also has scope for improvement and, having gone well over C&D in the past, he has to be considered as a threat. While Join The Clan is better than his form figures would suggest and would be dangerous to underestimate.
  1. Ardmayle
  2. Open Hearted
  3. Join The Clan
