Forecasts

Be Prepared (2/9), Grove Ferry (7/2), Sir Arthur Dayne (22/1), Austin Taetious (100/1)

Verdict

Hard to look anywhere else but the top two in what looks to be a more straightforward novice contest, the manner of victory in which BE PREPARED scored at Nottingham cannot be ignored. His form has been tested in the classier juvenile races that have gone this season and he is the one to beat, although his tendency to hang left last time out could be a concern at this track. Grove Ferry has respectable form but has a few lbs to find with the selection, while Sir Arthur Dayne has the best of the uninspiring form to suggest he will take minor honours.
