Forecasts

Addicted To You (5/4), Blazon (7/4), Alabaster (9/2), Mixboy (5/1), Gang Warfare (25/1), The Resdev Way (25/1), Final Choice (33/1), Claudio Monteverdi (100/1)

Verdict

The obvious call in this with no improvers lurking in the wings is BLAZON who has proved a revelation since being switched to the AW making it 3-3 in handicaps since being switched to that sphere. He does have to prove that he can but his sire (Dansili) offers a 17% strike-rate with his progeny here. Mixboy is a wonderfully versatile individual who probably didn’t get the ideal ride here last time and a more forceful showing will see him in a better light. Addicted To You returned to form last time but he has to find his feet on this surface and it can pay to note any market positives for Gang Warfare who has proved himself here in the past.
  1. Blazon
