Forecasts

Gustavus Vassa (7/4), James Cook (9/2), Law Girl (9/2), Change Of Velocity (6/1), Sea The Lion (7/1), Boho (10/1), Breathe Easy (16/1), Le Vagabond (20/1), Share The Honour (25/1), Abjar (33/1), Grand Partner (40/1), Roconga (40/1)

Verdict

CHANGE OF VELOCITY has been in excellent form and he's taken to land the hat-trick with a less exposed profile than many of his rivals. Share The Honour will appreciate the step up in trip after a respectable effort here over 1m2f last time out but Gustavus Vassa could be the main danger with more to come for this yard.
  1. Change Of Velocity
  2. Share The Honour
  3. Gustavus Vassa
