Forecasts

Boss Des Mottes (7/2), Dakota Grey (7/2), Frankie Ballou (7/2), Motion To Strike (4/1), Chain Of Beacons (9/2), Civil Unrest (13/2), Clondaw Banker (12/1), New Kid In Town (16/1), Rapid Fritz (40/1)

Verdict

Plenty of question marks against many of these horses, including Dakota Grey (resolution), Frankie Ballou (ground) and Clondaw Banker (still the force of old), so last year's head runner up BOSS DES MOTTES makes major appeal from a similar mark. He doesn't win all that often, but was perfectly entitled to need the run at Sedgefield recently and with forecast conditions favourable rates as the likeliest winner.
  1. Boss Des Mottes
  2. Motion To Strike
  3. Chain Of Beacons
