Forecasts

Bennys King (11/8), Pookie Pekan (4/1), Cake de L'Isle (5/1), Cave Top (11/2), Miles To Milan (7/1), Real Warrior (16/1), Spencer Lea (20/1), L'Es Fremantle (40/1)

Verdict

CAVE TOP shaped well for a very long way last time and having been eased 4lb since looks handicapped to go well. Bennys King has every chance if recovered from his win at Chepstow a few weeks ago, and Cake De L'Isle is surely better than we have seen so far over fences and is open to imporvement. Despite a long absence Spencer Lea cannot be ruled out, nor can Pookie Pekan who drops back in trip. Miles To Milan is in form and is another who enters the equation.
  1. Cave Top
  2. Pookie Pekan
  3. Spencer Lea
