Forecasts

Buckland Beau (11/4), Unit of Assessment (4/1), Captain Pugwash (7/1), Mullarkey (8/1), Oceanus (10/1), Zoffany Bay (12/1), Cape Banjo (12/1), Topamichi (14/1), My Fantasea (14/1), Crindle Carr (14/1), Squire (25/1), Raven Banner (25/1), Ember's Glow (25/1), Native Soldier (33/1)

Verdict

If he's capable of seeing out this longer trip, CAPTAIN PUGWASH could be the one to side with. He wasn't seen to best effect last time out and provided he has the stamina for this, he's likely to be thereabouts. Topamichi could improve for the first-time headgear and has course and distance form to his name; he could prove to be the main danger to the selection. Buckland Beau and Unit Of Assessment have both been dealt a blow with their wide draws but the former is another C&D winner getting first-time headgear and can't be ruled out from a workable mark.
  1. Captain Pugwash
  2. Topamichi
  3. Buckland Beau
