Forecasts

Mr Whipped (6/4), Count Meribel (3/1), Paisley Park (9/2), Chooseyourweapon (9/2), Knight In Dubai (16/1), Cave Top (20/1)

Verdict

An interesting little contest. Count Meribel is likely to make a bold bid from the front and if allowed to get in a rhythm, could prove hard to pass. Mr Whipped has done little wrong but looks short enough in the betting, and a chance is taken on KNIGHT OF DUBAI to spring the surprise. He's got a bit to find on form, but couldn't have done it any easier on his hurdles debut and his point form gives hope that he can leave that form behind. Chooseyourweapon is another to impress with his attitude and this may be a bit more open than the market suggests.
  1. Knight In Dubai
  2. Count Meribel
  3. Mr Whipped
