Forecasts

Atlantic Storm (3/1), The Tailgater (7/2), Saint Cajetan (6/1), Boy In A Bentley (8/1), Druid's Folly (8/1), Minstrel Royal (17/2), Chic Theatre (10/1), Earls Fort (11/1), Alpine Secret (12/1), Midnight Jitterbug (20/1)

Verdict

The unexposed ATLANTIC STORM made a successful start to his handicap career when winning at Bangor last time out and he can follow up in this competitive looking 2m3f event. The step up in trip looks likely to suit the selection and he can get the better of Earls Fort who is seeking a fourth win of the season here and The Tailgater who can put a poor performance last time out behind him by finishing third.
  1. Atlantic Storm
  2. Earls Fort
  3. The Tailgater
