Forecasts

Newberry New (11/4), Granville Island (3/1), Special Wells (7/2), Crown Hill (4/1), Leanna Ban (9/1), Hargam (12/1), Crest (14/1)

Verdict

Special Wells is likely to prove popular given his win in this last year and the fact that he gets in here from a mark higher than the ceiling. It is always a concern taking on Sue Smith's runners here, but his record when fresh is not red hot and from 5lb higher he looks vulnerable. Money for Hargam could prove to be significant, while Crest, Granville Island, Newberry New and Leanna Ban could all pick up some money if things drop right. However, CROWN HILL relishes testing ground, stays a bit further than this and remains open to a bit more improvement over fences, so he is preferred.
