Forecasts

Poker D'Ainay (5/4), Stylish Moment (9/4), Inishbel (5/1), Guttural (7/1), Elegant Dan (16/1), Spring Well (25/1), Boro Melody (25/1), Never Walk Alone (50/1), Nabeel (66/1), Kananaskis (100/1)

Verdict

Rather a weak contest overall but connections have found a weak enough contest to try again with GUTTURAL. He's obviously a bit of a character but is in the right hands. You can't rule Poker D'ainy out but one must be wary of backing him at this stage in his career. The interesting runner is Stylish Moment who has his first run for a new yard in Ireland, ran consistently well when trained in England.
