Forecasts

Wolfofallstreets (4/1), Conright Boy (4/1), Spruced Up (9/2), Hell On Earth (5/1), Dessie's Diamond (6/1), Comporta (7/1), Turbo (9/1), De Benno (16/1)

Verdict

Wolfofallstreets bolted up last time, but that performance sits uneasily with his overall record, and he looks opposable at short odds now tackling stronger company. Preference is for 2017 winner CONRIGHT BOY, who showed plenty of his old dash when just beaten over fences last time. Spruced Up, Comporta and Hell On Earth are unexposed in handicaps, and any of the three could show improved form, so a market check is essential.
  1. Conright Boy
  2. Comporta
  3. Wolfofallstreets
