Forecasts

Good Time Ahead (7/2), Calliope (9/2), Infiniti (13/2), Melabi (13/2), Percys Princess (8/1), Dream Free (8/1), Silver Gleam (8/1), Surround Sound (10/1), Pennerley (33/1)

Verdict

Quite a few of the likely principles would prefer a sounder surface than seems likely, ensuring that waters are muddied somewhat. Percys Princess has won three times this term, Melabi won off this rating over C&D in April and Infiniti is weighted to go well – but underfoot conditions are not going to be perfect for any of them. It may develop into a battle of wills and a chance is given to CALLIOPE, who won over C&D at this meeting last year and sports a first-time hood now having made the frame, albeit remotely, last time at Redcar.
  1. Calliope

  3. Infiniti
