Forecasts

Poormans Hill (5/4), William Du Berlais (6/1), Lasoscar (13/2), Paper Lantern (9/1), Anseanachai Cliste (10/1), Some Drama (10/1), Routes Choice (10/1), Angus Milan (12/1), Back Off Mate (16/1), Ardmillan (25/1), Bearly Legal (25/1)

Verdict

Anseanachai Cliste, William Du Berlais and Some Drama could be left to take the field along in this competitive handicap. Paper Lantern was in cracking form in the early part of the year, rising 23lb in the handicap and can be expected to go well again but has the improving POORMANS HILL to get past here.
  1. Poormans Hill
  2. Paper Lantern
  3. William Du Berlais
