Forecasts

Oh So Gigolo (7/2), Squeeze Me (6/1), Wazowski (15/2), Louloumills (15/2), Sendiym (8/1), What A Game (10/1), Nicki's Nipper (10/1), Ronaldinho (14/1), Pineapple Crush (16/1), Mr Selby (16/1), Torero (25/1), Top Cat Dj (25/1), Roja Dove (25/1), Sultana Belle (28/1), Unex Picasso (33/1)

Verdict

Not the most appealing betting heat on the card but there are a few that can be expected to run their races within this grade. Both Squeeze Me and Nicki’s Nipper will have claims in this with the former surely one of the better travellers in the race. Sendiym always has to be respected in this grade although he has found this mark tough before and What A Game can’t be left out of the equation back at the scene of his last and only win. Mr Selby is one of the more interesting ones at a price but all in all this looks a decent opportunity for OH SO GIGOLO to open his account after he ran so well last time out at Sedgefield.
  1. Oh So Gigolo
  2. Squeeze Me
  3. Mr Selby
