Forecasts

Chagatai (2/1), Etefaaq (4/1), Khamry (11/2), Towelrads Boy (6/1), Initiative (6/1), Scooter (10/1), Miracle Works (16/1), Dragstone Rock (66/1), Ad Valorem Queen (66/1), Capla Demon (66/1), Fantastic Flyer (66/1), Legal Mind (250/1)

Verdict

Khamry got off the mark here last time but the drop back in trip asks a small question of him and preference is for INITIATIVE. Henry Spiller's charge shaped as if there should be plenty of improvement to come when getting off the mark at Salisbury in June, and as long as he doesn't need the run here after all that time off may well go very close to picking up a second career win. Chagatai drops in class markedly here and completes the shortlist on his return from Listed company.
  1. Initiative
  2. Chagatai
  3. Khamry
