Forecasts

Manuela De Vega (5/4), Ben Vrackie (2/1), Sextant (7/2), Durston (4/1), Grace And Danger (8/1)

It's tough to separate these five runners in a good renewal. Older runners have held sway more often than not in recent years although it's hard to get away from the Classic and consistent form of the classy Manuela De Vega. Narrow preference though is for BEN VRACKIE who has fared well in leading handicaps this year with the step back to this distance very much in his favour. He looks well suited by these terms while Sextant is another who will be suited by a sharper test and he was very much on the up before not staying last time. He may look to get the lead and is closely matched with the also improving Durston.and lightly racedGrace And Danger.
