For Three (11/8), Beyondtemptation (3/1), Fanzio (4/1), Placedela Concorde (5/1), Ormesher (16/1), Horst (20/1)

Verdict

Not the easiest of races to fathom the probable chain of events. However with the much respected Fanzio in the line-up, and the regular pace-setter Ormesher also present and correct, Miss Hexham herself Beyondtemptation almost certainly won't have things all her own way up front as was the case when she romped to victory over 2m4f here ten days ago. Therefore, we'll chance that the shrewd Brian Hughes can tuck in behind the pace aboard the recent smooth course winner (novices') FOR THREE and pounce late on as others begin to slowly wilt and flounder for their earlier exertions.
  1. For Three
  2. Fanzio
  3. Beyondtemptation
