Forecasts

Perfect Pirate (5/2), Theo's Charm (4/1), Chef D'Equipe (7/1), Masterplan (7/1), Bekkensfirth (7/1), Little Jon (10/1), Never Up (14/1), Amber Gambler (20/1), Lord Ballim (25/1), Go West Young Man (40/1), Le Curieux (66/1)

Verdict

This should be run at a good pace, with Masterplan and Never Up the most likely to take them along. That should suit PERFECT PIRATE, a really good-looking, athletic individual that scored with a bit in hand at Towcester and his proven stamina will come in handy up this hill. Top weight Theo's Charm may give him most to think about, and if Little Jon can stick a clear round in, he might be able to take some prizemoney home.
  1. Perfect Pirate
  2. Theo's Charm
  3. Little Jon
