Forecasts

Fifty Shades (3/1), Maid Of Milan (5/1), Jack Snipe (6/1), Moss On The Mill (15/2), Charlie Mon (9/1), Strumble Head (9/1), Only Gorgeous (11/1), It's Obvious (12/1), Gorsky Island (14/1), Royale Django (16/1), Mon Parrain (20/1), Athreeothree (40/1)

Verdict

No shortage of pace on here, with at least three likely front runners, and it may pay to look for something from off the pace to come through and take this. ONLY GORGEOUS makes some appeal on those grounds and will enjoy conditions here. He didn't run badly over a trip too short when last seen in April and might be able to take advantage. Fifty Shades is in good form but will find this tougher, and the places may be the best her can hope for. Gorsky Island would be threat with an error-free round as well.
  1. Only Gorgeous
  2. Fifty Shades
  3. Gorsky Island
