Forecasts

Shanksforamillion (6/5), Keating (10/3), Rebel Beat (7/1), Maximus Maridius (9/1), Walter Oneeightone (12/1), Keepin Time (16/1), Ring Eye (20/1), Racing Spirit (22/1), Black Banjo (33/1)

Verdict

With no pacemaker in the field, this has all the hallmarks of a messy contest and caution is advised. SHANKSAMILLION is doing nothing but improve and with no trip or ground worries, can go in again before the handicapper finally starts to catch up with him. Maximus Maridius got no further than the first last time but should be happier back over hurdles. Keating may take the bronze, but the likes of Walteroneeightone and Keepin Time both need a market check.
