Forecasts

Mysterial (3/1), Medina Sidonia (7/2), Wishing Well (4/1), Rembrandt (9/2), La Fritillaire (5/1), Jan Smuts (10/1), Attention Seaker (10/1), Nashville (12/1)

Verdict

Medina Sidonia has decent credentials ahead of this, but he has not yet won when fresh and while Tim Easterby is more than capable of readying one first time out, his inmates do usually benefit from a run. However, if supported he would be very interesting. La Fritillaire can get competitive, Rembrandt is not one to write off yet but does need to find a little more to win this, while Attention Seeker is another Great Habton runner who merits a market check on her return to the track after an absence. Preference, therefore, is for JAN SMUTS, who is a specialist at the trip, is 5lb lower than when taking this race last year and has benefited from having a claimer up for his last two wins.
  1. Jan Smuts
  2. Rembrandt
  3. La Fritillaire
