Forecasts

Madhmoon (4/6), Never No More (5/2), Could Be King (10/1), Wargrave (12/1), San Andreas (14/1), The Irish Rover (22/1), Breaking Story (25/1), Copia Verborum (50/1)

Verdict

Madhmoon is a class act but this is a different surface for him having looked impressive in both his victories last season on good ground, and there is a chance that NEVER NO MORE, proven on the ground and with fitness on his side can take his scalp on this occasion. San Andreas is likely to get much closer to the selection this time and can make the frame.
  1. Never No More
  2. Madhmoon
  3. San Andreas
