Forecasts

Festival Of Ages (13/8), Higher Power (3/1), Watersmeet (9/2), Alfredo (8/1), Stargazer (9/1), Reshoun (10/1), Cosmelli (12/1), Castlelyons (20/1), Golden Wolf (40/1)

Without doubt the best race on the card with Watersmeet and Higher Power both of whom have good C&D form resuming hostilities from Kempton last time when the former beat the latter by 1L and could well maintain his advantage here. Alfredo is certainly improving and has found his niche on the AW with Stargazer a similar type although both have something to prove in this grade. FESTIVAL OF AGES also has to prove himself up to this sort of task but his form of his few races looks sound and despite the big increase in trip he’s taken to carry on with his upward curve. Cosmelli is another who is likely to benefit from a return to this C&D having put up one of his best performances here.
