Forecasts

Get Help (9/5), Sidi Ismael (10/3), Vamanos (11/2), Duc De Grissay (7/1), Uncle Jonty (10/1), Darius Des Sources (12/1), Rollerruler (16/1)

Verdict

The pick of these on last season’s form would be Vamanos and with the cheekpieces on for the first-time he may jump with more fluency than he did when he was last seen but that facet of his game remains a doubt. Similarly Sidi Ismael has to bounce back from a poor run last time although it should be noted that his best run did come here and he will handle these conditions. GET HELP reverts to novice grade on the back of a very sound run in a handicap here (he’s also run well at this venue before) that should be enough to see him go close. Darius Des Sources and Uncle Jonty represent some good point-to-point form and a market move for either/both should be noted.
  1. Get Help
  2. Vamanos
  3. Uncle Jonty
