Forecasts

Just A Sting (9/2), Kildisart (5/1), Azzerti (11/2), Django Django (7/1), Stick To The Plan (8/1), Zubayr (17/2), Arthur's Gift (11/1), Solomn Grundy (12/1), Monbeg Theatre (14/1), Graasten (16/1), Treackle Tart (40/1)

Verdict

A competitive handicap in which it's not hard to build a case for impressive recent winners Azzerti and Graasten despite hefty subsequent weight rises. Solomn Grundy is of interest after recent wind surgery but dual bumper scorer JUST A STING has shown enough in novice events to suggest he's potentially well-treated on his handicap debut and he is bound to appreciate the testing conditions more than most.
  1. Just A Sting
  2. Solomn Grundy
  3. Azzerti
