Forecasts

Blakerigg (11/4), Present Flight (9/2), Romulus Du Donjon (9/2), Orioninverness (5/1), Nakadam (6/1), Titian Boy (8/1), Craiganboy (8/1), Instingtive (9/1), Silverton (10/1), Formidableopponent (33/1)

Verdict

Instingtive is an obvious starting point having run so well at Carlisle last time. He races off the same mark here and should be a leading player once more. Orioninverness won well at Perth last time but may find life a little tougher under an 8lb penalty here. We will take a chance that the summer break and wind surgery will have rejuvenated BLAKERIGG who can make a winning reappearance.
  1. Blakerigg
  2. Instingtive
  3. Orioninverness
