Forecasts

Harvey Specter (4/1), Hyperdrive (4/1), St Gallen (9/2), Curley Bill (11/2), Ontheiflist (6/1), Tony The Gent (7/1), Sandstorming (14/1), Balanced Approach (16/1), King Christophe (20/1), The Graduate (20/1), Our Channel (25/1)

Verdict

An open looking handicap in which Harvey Specter merits consideration if returning in the same sort of shape as last back-end. Hyperdrive was beaten by Ontheiflist at Roscommon in late August, so shouldn't be able to reverse those placings despite enjoying a productive spell this time last season. That rival isn't a frequent winner, but should build upon last month's course comeback (1m). However, this looks the type of race tailor-made for a market plunge and both The Graduate and KING CHRISTOPHE appeal as likely types. The selection returns from over 12 months off the track, but has a paper-weight too carry and is strong in the stamina department.
  1. King Christophe
  2. Ontheiflist
  3. Harvey Specter
