Forecasts

Castarnie (2/1), You Say What (9/4), According To Harry (9/2), Umberto D'olivate (5/1), Only Gorgeous (13/2), Swincombe Scorchio (17/2), Themanfrom Minella (9/1), Goohar (12/1), Lord Ballim (16/1)

Verdict

CASTARNIE returned from a layoff with a really strong effort over C&D, just having to settle for second in the dying strides. Up another 2lb, he could be capable of regaining the winning thread with his fitness boosted from that effort. You Say What was behind him there but should close the gap being 6lb better off now. Lord Ballim has an easier task now than at Cheltenham and could go well while Only Gorgeous cannot be ruled out with any degree of certainty.
  1. Castarnie
