Forecasts

Dakota Gold (5/1), Great Prospector (6/1), Lahore (7/1), Lake Volta (7/1), Summerghand (15/2), Gunmetal (10/1), Muscika (14/1), Richenza (14/1), Belated Breath (14/1), Vintage Brut (16/1), Venturous (16/1), Citron Major (18/1), Staxton (18/1), Reputation (18/1), Ice Age (20/1), Intisaab (20/1), Poyle Vinnie (25/1), George Bowen (28/1), Gulliver (28/1), Lancelot Du Lac (33/1)

Verdict

A cracking handicap in prospect. Gunmetal is entitled to make short-lists again, while Dakota Gold has what appears to be a more attractive draw and looks a serious contender. However, LAKE VOLTA is a battle-hardened individual with good course form, and he won't mind these conditions, so he is the suggestion. Staxton, Richenza, Belated Breath and Reputation are others form whom cases can be made.
  1. Lake Volta
  2. Dakota Gold
  3. Staxton
