Forecasts

Miss Mirabeau (11/4), King Of Swing (7/2), False Id (5/1), Jumping Around (6/1), Characterized (7/1), Ocean Temptress (8/1), Auric Goldfinger (10/1), The Happy Hammer (20/1), Nonno Giulio (25/1)

Verdict

The unexposed MISS MIRABEAU can improve on trainer Sir Mark Prescott's recent 20% strike-rate (4/20) by taking this opening apprentice handicap. The selection ran well on handicap debut last time and with the useful Manuel Fernandes in the saddle he is taken to get the better of hat-trick seeking Ocean Temptress who carries a penalty for her latest success. Auric Goldfinger's sole success came on the AW over this trip and he can claim third having been gelded since his latest outing.
  1. Miss Mirabeau
  2. Ocean Temptress
  3. Auric Goldfinger
