Forecasts

Burbank (8/11), Hogan's Height (9/2), Bach De Clermont (8/1), Max Forte (17/2), Shanroe In Milan (9/1), Midnight Target (16/1), Wandrin Star (33/1), Minella Style (66/1)

Verdict

BURBANK is sure to have been well schooled for his chase debut and his athletic build has always suggested he would make his mark in this sphere. His fourth in the Neptune puts him on an entirely different level to his rivals and he is taken to repeat the yard's success in this last year. Hogan's Height and Bach De Clermont are the pick of those with chasing experience, whilst Wandrin Star is potentially better than we have seen so far.
  1. Burbank
  2. Hogan's Height
  3. Bach De Clermont
