Forecasts

Cloth Cap (4/5), Treackle Tart (7/2), My Old Gold (4/1), Forth Bridge (13/2)

Verdict

Lightly-raced CLOTH CAP could be a National horse later in his career having run so well in the Scottish equivalent last season considering his relative inexperience. In a warmer race than this he ran well at Ascot last time and although he wouldn't want things to get too tactical over a flat 3m he is taken to land the spoils over mares My Old Gold and Treackle Tart who are closely matched on last season's Perth meet.
