Forecasts

Seddon (11/4), Chateau Marmont (3/1), Theatre Legend (10/3), Chanceanotherfive (6/1), Enlighten (6/1), Sai Kung Sing (14/1), Parker (16/1), Timesawaiting (25/1), Cpm Flyer (33/1), Mon Ami Bob (50/1)

Verdict

The betting will reveal more in terms of the newcomers here, with a few that should pique interest. Chateau Marmont changed hands for a hefty fee as a four-year-old and could be up to making an impact while Seddon is making a long journey north and is another worth paying attention to. Timesawaiting is under a featherweight with his riders' claim and completes the trio. They'll all need to go some to get the better of Chanceanotherfive and THEATRE LEGEND despite the double penalties on both. The former is two from two under rules and should go well but the selection is rapidly improving this season with two wins, easily defying his penalty at Sedgefield, and may be the answer once again despite going up in class.
  1. Theatre Legend
  2. Seddon
  3. Chanceanotherfive
