Forecasts

Nikki Steel (9/4), One For Billy (3/1), Joueur Bresilien (3/1), Dark Invader (6/1), Little Chunk (7/1), Comanche Chieftain (8/1), Field Exhibition (16/1)

Verdict

Reverting to more prominent tactics would surely be a positive for Comanche Chieftain as would the reintroduction of headgear off this sort of mark but once again it looks as though he would face competition for the lead. DARK INVADER went close last time and off the same mark with cheekpieces now applied he looks to be the one to beat. Little Chunk can be given a chance if a break has refreshed him with Nikki Steel respected; he’s just the type that the stable do well with over the summer months. One For Billy has to also be given a mention with his yard in good form in what is a competitive opener.
  1. Dark Invader
  2. Nikki Steel
  3. Comanche Chieftain
