Forecasts

Gonnabegood (5/2), Silent Doctor (7/2), Dirty Dexter (9/2), Brother Norphin (11/2), Fearsome Fred (7/1), Basford Ben (8/1), Right On Roy (14/1), Special Princess (25/1), Passing Fiesta (50/1)

Verdict

A low-key end to the card with it hard to fashion a case for many of these and there are plenty of inconsistent types in the field. It may be significant that Jeremy Scott switches back GONNABEGOOD very quickly from his debut chasing effort having put up to very creditable efforts in this sort of race. Brother Norphin should be able to be competitive in this sphere but he does need to bounce back from a poor run and Silent Doctor may be the biggest danger having run well here last time. Fearsome Fred might just prefer a sounder surface to show his best while Basford Ben would be dangerous if he was on a going day although those are few and far between these days.
