Verdict

Several of these need it to rain, not least last year's winner Safe Voyage and Cold Stare. Lord Oberon is arguably the least exposed performer in the field and looks sure to give a good account, but a chance is taken with GREAT PROSPECTOR, who has failed to live up to early promise but ran better than his finishing position in the Lincoln suggests and will appreciate the drop back in trip. In a wide-open handicap, others to consider include Shady Mccoy and Ptarmigan Ridge.
  1. Great Prospector
  2. Lord Oberon
  3. Shady Mccoy
