Forecasts

Dentley De Mee (7/4), Capeland (2/1), Caid Du Lin (3/1), Highway One O One (7/2), Eddiemaurice (6/1)

Verdict

Eddiemaurice will need some improvement to mount a serious challenge here, but he is open to some of that and should not be written off from bottom weight. At the other end of the spectrum, Highway One O One has a bit to prove on good ground. Capeland looks a serious contender, but preference is for CAID DU LIN, who acts on the ground, goes well here and should relish the return to this company.
  1. Caid Du Lin
  2. Capeland
  3. Highway One O One
