Forecasts

Balancing Act (13/8), Baltic State (5/2), Dana Forever (10/3), Kilham (7/2), Reassure (8/1), Hong Kong Harry (10/1), The Grey Bay (12/1), Araifjan (16/1), Music Therapist (16/1), Sendacard (20/1), Lady Nectar (33/1), Champagne Angel (66/1)

Verdict

This is likely to be run at a good clip if BALTIC STATE and Balancing Act run to expectations. The first named was well backed when he was just denied by a late surging rival over C&D last time but he's much better drawn this time and can make amends if all goes to plan. Balancing Act can push the selection all the way and would be dangerous to rule out; as would Kilham, who met a toughened campaigner last time and may well find some of this lot don't measure up at this stage. Strong support in the betting for the likes of Araifjan and Dana Forever would also be interesting to note.
  1. Baltic State
  2. Balancing Act
  3. Kilham
