Forecasts

Tintown Robin (4/1), Queen Khaleesi (9/2), Persian Wind (5/1), Loch Luatha (8/1), Sunset Sadie (8/1), Jessicor (10/1), Fairy Court (11/1), Tizme (14/1), Muroor (16/1), Its Only A Dream (16/1), Timanora (16/1), Shantelle (16/1), Pump Road (33/1), Lizzies Way (33/1), Presenting Champ (33/1)

Verdict

It is not easy to be positive about many of these but QUEEN KHALESI has been running well lately and the softer ground may bring her stamina into play. Persian Wind is also in form but may find his big weight an anchor on this ground. Loch Luatha produced a big run from out of the blue last time and if that is reproduced here he would have a big say in the outcome.
  1. Queen Khaleesi
  2. Persian Wind
  3. Loch Luatha
