Forecasts

Dedigout (7/4), Eastview Boy (9/4), Arctic Vodka (5/1), Pistol (11/2), Aniknam (13/2), Un Guet Apens (7/1), Barrys Jack (15/2), War Joey (16/1)

Verdict

The veteran DEDIGOUT is not the force of old but with his stable remaining in good form he could well go close here in what looks an open contest. Top weight Arctic Vodka is respected following his win last time but needs to improve again to follow up, while Pistol is capable at this level if things go his way. Eastview Boy is in form but the trip is a concern in this ground, and War Joey is open to improvement and the step up in trip may help, so any market interest would be worth noting.
