Forecasts

Masarzain (13/8), Edgar Allan Poe (9/2), Armagnac (7/1), Argaki (15/2), Ellaal (8/1), Bernie's Boy (8/1), Inglorious (12/1), Lil Sophella (16/1), Kicking The Can (20/1), Ching Ching Lor (33/1)

Verdict

Armagnac has to come into consideration after scoring last time and escaping a penalty for that Thirsk success, though it was modest fayre and consistency would not be his strong point. Edgar Allan Poe is clearly in good form, though a 7lb rise looks a tough ask ahead of his hat-trick bid, while Inglorious should be in the mix once again. Ellaal goes well here and is respected along with Kicking The Can and Argaki, but preference is for MASARZAIN, who is an improver at this sort of level and can defy his penalty.
  1. Masarzain
  2. Armagnac
  3. Edgar Allan Poe
