Forecasts

Al Destoor (3/1), Instant Attraction (7/2), Knight Destroyer (9/2), Dark Devil (5/1), Carnageo (7/1), Save The Bees (10/1), Cornborough (12/1), Ghayyar (14/1), Gworn (16/1), So You Thought (16/1), Bakht A Rawan (25/1), Keswick (33/1)

Verdict

A race where the main contenders are all much of a muchness, with the likes of Save The Bees and Carnageo to be respected on their productive late summer campaigns in previous years. So You Thought is an interesting newcomer for Simon West, and whilst costly enough at 48,000gns should be capable of winning races off his perfectly fair opening mark (based upon his Irish handicap form). However, if there is a better treated horse in the line-up, it's most definitely the intriguing AL DESTOOR. He hasn't won since June 2017 (over C&D), but is well suited by this track overall and certainly appreciates plenty of cut underfoot.
  1. Al Destoor
  2. Carnageo
  3. Dark Devil
