Forecasts

Bold Spirit (11/4), Alpha Tauri (11/4), Luath (9/2), Essential (9/2), Chaucer's Tale (13/2), Maazel (8/1), Captain Bob (8/1), Tellovoi (9/1)

A race not exactly brimming with progressive types and quite a few are hard to trust such as Alpha Tauri and Tellovoi although neither are easily written off as they are both C&D winners. Bold Spirit acts well here but looks a little high in the handicap with the jury out on a couple that disappointed here on Tuesday in Chaucer’s Tale and Captain Bob. ESSENTIAL returns to handicaps and he may well have run into a useful type on this surface last time; he’s given the vote in this weak handicap.
