Forecasts

Northwest Frontier (2/1), Humble Hero (3/1), Stone The Crows (4/1), Master Archer (5/1), Ingleby Hollow (11/2), Here And Now (7/1), Croquembouche (20/1), Vent De Force (25/1), Venue (33/1)

Verdict

Humble Hero tries this trip for the first time and, although he will probably see it out, he might have serious questions asked of his stamina by the proven stayer NORTHWEST FRONTIER, who gets the vote. Richard Fahey's four-year-old is still improving, loves fast ground, and is taken to score. Stone The Crows is entitled to make short-lists, while neither Master Archer nor Here And Now are ruled out.
  1. Northwest Frontier
