Forecasts

Drakaina (4/1), The Irritator (5/1), Soul Season (13/2), Mr Moondance (7/1), Sparkalark (7/1), All In The Head (7/1), Meadow Cross (12/1), Seaboard (14/1), Ali Bin Nayef (16/1), Jouxplane (16/1), Masterchippy (20/1), St Peter's Square (20/1), Mista Wabbit Man (20/1), Crazy Queen (25/1), Wheres Hannah (25/1), Tobar Geal (25/1), Tortueuse (50/1)

Verdict

Soul Season and The Irritator were first and second over C&D recently in a sold battle and both should go well. With a nice pull at the weights, the second named might now be set to reverse those placings. Sparkalark is also respected having run well here last time while the mare All In The Head showed her best form to date to win last time, also over C&D. All have claims but it might prove safest to side with DRAIKINA, who also scored over this test last time out and might just have a bit more scope than some to repeat it and, potentially, build on it.
  1. Drakaina
  2. The Irritator
  3. All In The Head
