Forecasts

Singing The Blues (5/4), Panatos (5/2), Royal Flag (5/1), Miss Latin (13/2), Zoffany Bay (9/1), Conkering Hero (10/1), Hope Is High (10/1), The Detainee (20/1), Lady Natasha (66/1)

Verdict

The consistent SINGING THE BLUES has been expensive to follow lately but his attitude is commendable and he might just be worth another shot in what, on paper, looks a modest contest. He goes well at this course and should have no issues with the predicted state of the ground. Hope Is High is also effective at this track and finds herself on an attractive mark after a luckless campaign last year. This is a more appropriate test of her stamina than she encountered at Sandown last time out and she represents good value at the predicted odds. Royal Flag and Conkering Hero are others to consider.
  1. Singing The Blues
  2. Hope Is High
  3. Royal Flag
