Forecasts

Oliver's Gold (7/2), Little Stevie (4/1), Overtoujay (6/1), Gold Mountain (6/1), Un Beau Roman (7/1), Civil Unrest (7/1), By Rail (12/1), Deise Vu (16/1), Dexcite (20/1)

Verdict

Most of these make fairly limited appeal as does the contest as a betting heat but it’s hard to ignore the mark that UN BEAU ROMAN runs off now and with him showing signs of life last time when just going down at Worcester he’s taken to end a long losing spell. There should be a good battle on for the lead with the likes of Deise Vu, Civil Unrest and By Rail all likely to go forward and set this up for a closer. Oliver’s Gold continues to knock on the door but generally finds one too good and it may well be that a return to fences sees Little Stevie, still nicely weighted, in a better light than over hurdles of late.
  1. Un Beau Roman
  2. Little Stevie
  3. Civil Unrest
