Forecasts

So Sensible (11/2), Korbous (6/1), Heavy Weight (6/1), Adieux (7/1), Rummaging (8/1), Khabaray (8/1), Louth Lion (10/1), Mr Ormsby (10/1), Snoozing Indian (12/1), Settle For Red (12/1), I Will Excel (12/1), Plough Boy (16/1), Feeling Easy (16/1), Mzuri (16/1), Stamp Of Authority (25/1), Rosenborg Rider (25/1), Alkasser (33/1)

Verdict

Khabaray was a good winner over this C&D last time out, weaving his way through to score. He should go well again but he has been raised 7lb for that success and may find it is enough to halt him. SETTLE FOR RED got within ¾L of that rival when they clashed over 1m on the AW in March. He's now much better off at the weights and while he hasn't set the world alight over longer trips since, this drop back in distance might be just the ticket for him. Rummaging is dropping towards a winnable mark while Korbous is another for the shortlist having gone well last time out.
  1. Settle For Red
  2. Khabaray
  3. Rummaging
