Forecasts

Knight In Armour (2/1), Rita's Man (11/4), Ventura Gold (3/1), Thunderhooves (13/2), Kirbec (7/1)

An unappealing contest which has attracted a disappointingly small field. The blinkered Knight In Armour is a likely pace angle and he could be set for an improved showing over a more suitable trip. However, the percentage call is the 7f Newcastle winner VENTURA GOLD. He's one of two runners for the Middleham Park Syndicate (also supply Rita's Man), and a repeat of his course ¾L second to Kikini Bamalaam in August 2017 (7f) should be more than good enough here.
