Forecasts

Big Time Frank (9/4), Kilcrea Bridge (8/1), Leith Hill Legasi (8/1), Pine Warbler (8/1), Heresmynumber (8/1), Midnight Magic (9/1), Kiwi Myth (10/1), Maybe Plenty (12/1), Eaton Miller (16/1), Sutter's Mill (16/1), Blackmill (16/1), Onurbike (20/1), Macca's Stowaway (25/1), Magical Man (33/1), Kilmoganny (33/1), Try It Sometime (40/1), The Last Bridge (50/1)

Verdict

It would be hard to deny Big Time Frank his win after six straight runner-up finishes. He gets the champion jockey for company, which should aid him, but keeps finding ways not to win. Both Kilcrea Bridge and Kiwi Myth are amongst his conquerors in that sequence of runs, with the latter deemed more likely to repeat the trick now. MIDNIGHT MAGIC however made a sound start over fences at Ffos Las recently and David Noonan's mount is respected up 2lb with a chance to build on that now.
  1. Midnight Magic
  2. Big Time Frank
  3. Kiwi Myth
