Forecasts

Stone The Crows (9/4), Okool (3/1), Opinionate (3/1), Koeman (4/1), Duke Of Bronte (7/1), Star Of The East (8/1), Farquhar (9/1), Investigation (16/1), Stock Hill Fair (16/1), Knight Music (20/1), Dolphin Village (33/1)

Verdict

Those at the top end of the handicap don’t make a lot of appeal and it may be best to concentrate on the three-year-old contingent here. Koeman goes on the hunt for a hat-trick and has to enter the equation with Opinionate also looking to have further progress in him. Duke Of Bronte could well bounce back from a poor run last time having shown enough to take a handicap like this but the real improver amongst the whole field is STONE THE CROWS who showed up well last time out and can one better here.
  1. Stone The Crows
  2. Koeman
  3. Opinionate
