Forecasts

Bronco Billy (6/5), Only Gorgeous (11/8), Railway Storm (4/1)

Verdict

Assuming that ONLY GORGEOUS is none the worse for his win 7 days ago he looks the likeliest answer to a puzzle of a race. All three runners are untested over this marathon trip and on ground this quick, so the form book might end up being thrown out of the window. On balance though he should get the better of Bronco Billy who is on a downward spiral this season, and Railway Storm, beaten in point-to-points recently but not without hope at a track that suits.
  1. Only Gorgeous
  2. Railway Storm
  3. Bronco Billy
