Forecasts

Speak In Colours (4/1), Smash Williams (9/2), Mr Lupton (5/1), Chessman (5/1), Urban Beat (8/1), Gobi Desert (8/1), St Patrick's Day (8/1), Ardhoomey (10/1), Gordon Lord Byron (20/1)

Verdict

SPEAK IN COLOURS is an exciting four-year-old sprinter to follow this year and he looks sure to appreciate this drop in class. Mr Lupton is a danger and capable at this level but Gobi Desert might be the main danger with a less exposed profile than his rivals, making just his fourth start here.
  1. Speak In Colours
