Forecasts

Iconic Knight (11/8), On A Roll (15/8), Captain Ryan (8/1), Frank Cool (17/2), Look Surprised (20/1), Monumental Man (20/1), Taurean Gold (20/1), Dreamboat Annie (25/1)

Verdict

There are one or two in this that have the look of being able to produce something a little better than their recent performances. Iconic Knight would be one of that group with his last two starts being very encouraging and he looks capable of making his mark here along with On A Roll who is rather more unexposed. Those two have both been ridden positively though of late and there is every chance of them setting this up for a closer such as CAPTAIN RYAN. Now back down to his last winning mark it won’t be a surprise to see him improve on his Bath 3rd last time out.
  1. Captain Ryan
  2. On A Roll
  3. Iconic Knight
