Forecasts

Night Of Glory (7/2), Project Bluebook (9/2), Ravenous (5/1), Always Resolute (5/1), Baydar (8/1), Captain Courageous (10/1), Stormin Tom (10/1), Faithful Mount (12/1), Suegioo (14/1), Zafayan (50/1)

Verdict

A couple of these have proved to be massively consistent throughout the summer of 2018, notably the gallant Stormin Tom and the last time out Salisbury winner Ravenous, but the handicapper has taken aim as a result and both appear vulnerable. On the other hand, some have questions to answer with regards well-being, including Night of Glory and Zafayan. Therefore, we'll opt to focus on a couple of useful dual purpose performers. Always Resolute is 1-1 at Chester (2m) and finished runner-up over timber at Cartmel latest, but the 135-rated hurdler PROJECT BLUEBOOK is marginally preferred on the strength of a fair recent Flat run at this track (2m).
  1. Project Bluebook
  2. Always Resolute
  3. Night Of Glory
