Forecasts

Blunder Buss (2/1), Ardean Lass (11/4), Berkshire Downs (7/2), Caventara (11/2), Sunny Destination (25/1), In Our Blood (25/1), Okey Dokey (33/1), Carrickcross Boye (66/1)

Verdict

BLUNDER BUSS is narrowly preferred to Sunny Destination in a race where there is quite a lot of dead wood. The selection has run well on each of his last two starts and a similar level of form might just be enough with fitness guaranteed. Sunny Destination will also strip fitter for a recent run and has every chance of making a proper race of it. Okey Dokey may find a race in due course, while Ardean Lass and Berkshire Downs cannot be ruled out of the reckoning.
  1. Blunder Buss
  2. Sunny Destination
  3. Berkshire Downs
