Forecasts

Brother McGonagall (4/1), In First Place (9/2), Zehrah (9/2), Breanski (11/2), Rinaria (8/1), Buccaneers Cove (8/1), Our Greta (10/1), Ahlan Bil Zain (10/1), Mount Rock (12/1)

Verdict

Ahlan Bil Zain looks well worth another try over this sort of trip and has claims here, while In First Place, Breanski and Zehrah are others to consider. Our Greta could go very well now stepped up in trip and dropped 1lb and she is not ruled out, but BROTHER MCGONAGALL keeps answering the calls of the handicapper and he may still be good enough to do that here.
  1. Brother McGonagall
  2. Our Greta
  3. Ahlan Bil Zain
