Forecasts

Sporting Boy (11/4), Beneficial Joe (4/1), Western Climate (9/2), Muthabir (9/2), Solway Dandy (11/2), Winterfell (7/1), Oh Land Abloom (7/1), Royale Knight (7/1)

Verdict

Top weight Oh Land Abloom should make his presence felt and Winterfell is interesting on his return from a long absence, but both are opposable so MUTHABIR is the selection following his decent effort over C&D last time in the hope that the run has brought him on. Sporting Boy, Solway Dandy and Beneficial Joe are others to consider.
  1. Muthabir
  2. Oh Land Abloom
  3. Solway Dandy
