Forecasts

Top Tug (10/3), Batts Rock (9/2), Blakeney Point (7/1), Angel Gabrial (7/1), Oriental Fox (15/2), The Cashel Man (8/1), Manjaam (9/1), Glaring (14/1), High Secret (20/1), Cosmelli (33/1), Ballynanty (33/1)

Verdict

THE CASHEL MAN was disappointing at Chester on his comeback but his run on the final start of last season was a fine effort and there's a good chance he's still very well handicapped. Batts Rock has an unexposed profile and with the yard flying, he should run well and build on his reappearance at Ascot last time. Paul Nicholls doesn't have many runners on the Flat but High Secret looks on a fair mark and should go well with a useful 5lb claimer in the saddle.
  1. The Cashel Man
  2. Batts Rock
  3. High Secret
