Forecasts

Unblinking (3/1), True Destiny (7/2), The Detainee (5/1), Bird For Life (6/1), Regal Gait (6/1), River Dart (8/1), Banta Bay (16/1), Katie Gale (20/1), Dltripleseven (40/1), Demophon (50/1)

Verdict

The return to racing over 2m can be expected to suit True Destiny and, as he's also proven on the surface, the Roger Charlton-trained gelding gets the nod in a modest finale. Unblinking is another that has shown a liking for the Polytrack and he is forwarded as the main threat to the selection; followed closely by Katie Gale and Dltripleseven, who are both capable of going close if they handle the nature of the surface.
  1. True Destiny
  2. Unblinking
  3. Katie Gale
