Forecasts

Timoteo (5/6), Valseur Du Granval (6/5), Dell Oro (5/4), Railroad Junkie (4/1)

Hard not to be impressed with the way that TIMOTEO has dealt with his rivals on his two chasing starts so far and despite the handicapper taking a dim view of his latest victory raising him 10lb Alan King’s charge may not have finished improving yet having looked a natural over fences. A return to Ludlow may well spark a further recovery for Valseur Du Granval but he’s often a weak finisher and another placing looks in the offing. Dell Oro should appreciate going right-handed once more but has plenty to find and Railroad Junkie is taken to fill the minor place if he avoids his niggling errors.
