Forecasts

Barrys Jack (15/8), Take A Break (5/1), Suggestion (6/1), Kelpies Myth (8/1), Wazowski (10/1), Pistol (14/1), Green Zone (16/1), Xpo Universel (20/1), Monfass (20/1), Iolani (22/1), Felix Mendelssohn (28/1), Morning With Ivan (66/1)

Verdict

Plenty of exposed runners here and the two that make most appeal are Take A Break, who needs to find a bit more, and BARRYS JACK, who goes well here and could benefit from the presence of his good 7lb claimer. Wazowski is another on the short-list, with Kelpies Myth and Monfass others to consider.
  1. Barrys Jack
  2. Take A Break
  3. Wazowski
