Forecasts

Nessun Dorma (9/4), Lareena (6/1), Neverushacon (6/1), Dixie Lee (6/1), Play The Game (9/1), Ivanovich Gorbatov (10/1), Lakemilan (12/1), Beau Et Sublime (16/1), Political Policy (18/1), Hallmark (20/1), The Granson (25/1), Bitview Colin (66/1)

Verdict

With Nessun Dorma prone to the odd mistake a chance is taken on the solid and consistent NEVERUSHACON who landed a Grade B contest over C&D in May beating 13 rivals 1¾L off a 7lb lower mark. Dixie Lee appears to be enjoying her hurdling of late and C&D winner Play The Game can hit the frame, while the improving Tony Martin-trained Beau Et Sublime should not be discounted.
  1. Neverushacon
  2. Nessun Dorma
