Forecasts

Coopers Square (5/4), The Boss's Dream (7/1), Blackmill (8/1), Eaton Miller (9/1), Silent Encore (10/1), Up The Drive (10/1), Babytaggle (10/1), Houndscourt (12/1), Murphy's Nails (16/1), Abbeygrey (25/1), Spirit Of Hale (25/1), Tanacando (25/1), Kilmoganny (25/1), Try It Sometime (33/1)

Verdict

There's risk attached but THE BOSSES DREAM won in gritty style at Lingfield last week and he looks the most reliable candidate to deliver an effort of substance here. Tanacando doesn't have too much to find with the selection and is feared as a live danger, while strong cases can also be laid out for Houndscourt and Silent Encore, who both hold reasonable chances of at least making the frame in this company. Spirit Of Hale needs to prove his stamina over the trip but is also worth a betting check.
  1. The Boss's Dream
  2. Tanacando
  3. Houndscourt
