Forecasts

Highland Acclaim (3/1), Ashpan Sam (3/1), Pettochside (4/1), Tavener (5/1), Farleigh Mac (6/1), Huntsmans Close (7/1), Monumental Man (10/1), Swiss Cross (10/1), Pour La Victoire (14/1), Red Stripes (33/1)

Verdict

Ashpan Sam is feared give his win here last time, but over this trip things may happen a little too quickly and the suggestion is HUNTSMANS CLOSE. Robert Cowell's gelding races over his optimum trip and the drop into this grade for the first time since 2013 could see him prosper. Highland Acclaim is respected in opposition, while Swiss Cross, Tavener and Farleigh Mac are others who can get competitive.
  1. Huntsmans Close
  2. Farleigh Mac
