Forecasts

Shadow Sadness (11/8), Astute Boy (7/2), Thepensionfund (6/1), Sommervieu (9/1), Acker Bilk (14/1), Freedom Chimes (14/1), Casemates Square (20/1), All Hands On Deck (22/1), Another Drama (40/1), Muilean Na Madog (40/1), Troy Dee Knee (50/1), Bard Of Brittany (66/1), Rubheira (100/1), Dance With Kate (100/1)

Verdict

Thepensionfund is the most interesting of these given a strong pedigree and the promise of his bumper debut. His yard are in form and rare visitors here so any market moves would have to be noted. Sommervieu is, at some point, likely to prove better than he has shown so far and Acker Bilk is an interesting recruit. The vote goes to SHADOW SADNESS who should have learnt plenty from his hurdling debut and would have been the pick of these on the level. The booking of Brian Hughes can be considered a positive sign.
  1. Shadow Sadness
  2. Thepensionfund
  3. Sommervieu
