Forecasts

Chagatai (3/1), How Far (3/1), Normandy Barriere (11/2), Miracle of Medinah (7/1), Lightning Charlie (17/2), Daschas (10/1), Hakam (10/1), Only Spoofing (10/1), Equimou (25/1)

Verdict

The winner and runner-up from 2017 return, but Lightning Charlie and Hakam haven't been at their sharpest for a number of starts, so it'll be a major surprise if either features prominently this time around. Only Spoofing has proved progressive in the north this spring/summer, but the handicapper probably has his measure now. The assessor has also taken aim at slowing the progression of How Far (unbeaten in handicap company), but with quick ground again likely he's still a major player today. However, a more sporting choice is the 7yo MIRACLE OF MEDINAH, with his 2018 C&D form reading well in the context of this race.
  1. Miracle of Medinah
  2. How Far
  3. Chagatai
