Forecasts

Kohinoor Diamond (11/4), Vercingetorix (4/1), Ruler Of The Nile (5/1), Deep Resolve (6/1), Serenity Now (7/1), Katie Gale (10/1), Wordiness (11/1), Song Of Love (20/1)

Quite a few awkward and difficult types in this and it’s hard to find something which could be called a solid option. Both Vercingetorix and Kohinoor Diamond clearly have their own ideas about racing flattering to deceive on a few occasions although both are capable of winning something if they put their minds to the job although it remains to be seen how the latter handles this unique surface. Serenity Now has slipped to a competitive mark but ran poorly last time out as did Deep Resolve while more is needed from Song Of Love. Wordiness is of interest if he handles the surface but in the end a tentative vote is given to RULER OF THE NILE in the hope that a positive ride and a return to this C&D will help him regain the winning thread.
