Forecasts

Ballylemon (3/1), Prejudice (10/3), Alhaazm (5/1), Kiefer (8/1), Gantier (9/1), The Pink'n (9/1), Guildhall (12/1), Blood Eagle (14/1), Chinese Alphabet (16/1), Sash (33/1), War Eagle (100/1)

Verdict

A handicap full of unexposed sorts, and hard to call as a result. THE PINK'N was in front of a couple of these rivals in a well-contested handicap at Salisbury, and is at least as likely to improve for the stiffer test, so could provide some value, while Prejudice and Alhaazm are closely related to winners at the highest level, and merit maximum respect as a result. Kiefer is from a late-developing, but prolific family and isn't overburdened for his handicap debut.
  1. The Pink'n
  2. Kiefer
  3. Alhaazm
