Forecasts

Alaadel (9/4), Baron Bolt (7/2), Clear Spring (7/1), Dark Magic (10/1), Pettochside (12/1), Gin In The Inn (12/1), Finelcity (16/1), Repton (20/1), Moonraker (20/1), Smokey Lane (25/1), Storm Cry (25/1), Dalton (40/1), Huntsmans Close (40/1), Francisco (50/1)

Verdict

Pettochside is in good shape right now and continues to defy the handicapper. The form book indicates he has work to do in order to confirm Goodwood form with Baron Bolt. Paul Cole's charge should also be seen to better effect on this more galloping track and he looks set to deliver another bold show. Storm Cry takes the eye now dropping back to 6f but preference is for REPTON. It is possible his latest effort flatters him, but the handicapper has dropped him further in the weights. This looks his easiest task for some time and the jockey booking signals intent.
  1. Repton
  2. Storm Cry
  3. Baron Bolt
