Forecasts

Verdict

Unexposed REIKERS ISLAND was very impressive at Wincanton and looks a staying handicapper to stay on the right side of at present so he gets the nod in this valuable contest. Vice Et Vertu has a fine strike rate and started this season with a staying on second over 3m so he can build on that and again go close here with an extra 2f in his favour. Another starting the season well was Sandy Beach who could be open to improvement now over this sort of trip.
  1. Reikers Island
  2. Vice Et Vertu
  3. Sandy Beach
