Forecasts

Captain Redbeard (5/2), Braqueur D'Or (3/1), Vintage Clouds (10/3), Delusionofgrandeur (5/1), Takingrisks (11/2), Buywise (33/1)

Verdict

A small field, but no less competitive for that. Captain Redbeard and Vintage Clouds both go well here, but probably want slower ground to have their best chance, especially from such high marks, and preference is for BRAQUEUR D'OR, who relishes a sound surface and may still have more to offer. Delusionofgrandeur is back on a good mark, while Takingrisks can't be ruled out.
  1. Braqueur D'Or
  2. Vintage Clouds
