Forecasts

William Money (13/8), Boa Island (5/2), No Buts (3/1), Only Gorgeous (4/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for all in this. No Buts has the most serious questions to answer in terms of the trip. There is stamina on the dam's side though and he remains interesting with the yard having had a couple of winners recently. Only Gorgeous has been in outstanding form at Exeter but has been a few pounds below those levels at other tracks and he needs to produce a career best. Boa Island is 7lb higher for his Chepstow success but he was only just doing enough that day and cheekpieces will help. WILLIAM MONEY appeals as being potentially the better handicapped of these judged on some of his old form. He boasts very good performances over extreme distances and his yard have been going well.
