Forecasts

Humble Gratitude (10/3), Dark Devil (4/1), Regular Income (9/2), Bit Of A Quirke (9/2), Confrontational (11/2), Aiya (8/1), Qawamees (9/1)

Verdict

A trappy little handicap but a chance for QAWAMEES to get the better of the argument. He'd been out of form for quite a while prior to a much improved run last time and is now at the right end of the weights with soft ground to suit. Dark Devil may porve the main danger as he too appears on the way back, a comment that applies similarly to previous C&D scorer Bit Of A Quirke. Confrontational is also worth a glance having kept on over the extended mile last time suggesting this trip might suit.
  1. Qawamees
  2. Dark Devil
  3. Confrontational
