Forecasts

Quatrieme Ami (7/2), Steelriver (5/1), Major Valentine (6/1), Zac Brown (6/1), Casterbridge (7/1), Classic Pursuit (8/1), John Joiner (10/1), Silverrica (12/1), Emjayem (33/1), Mighty Zip (50/1), Classic Flyer (100/1), Give Us A Belle (100/1)

Verdict

A wide-open handicap for which the starting point is hat-trick scorer Major Valentine. He is in a tremendous vein of form and should make a bold bid to defy a 7lb rise, but with one or two who like to force the pace in this, preference is for hold-up performer CLASSIC PURSUIT, who came from a long way back to win well on the AW last time and is handicapped to go close again on turf. Casterbridge and Silverrica are also expected to make their presence felt.
  1. Classic Pursuit
  2. Silverrica
  3. Casterbridge
