Forecasts

The Dawn Man (2/1), Spirit Of Hale (5/1), Ector (6/1), Sigurd (7/1), Rollerball Rocco (15/2), Smuggler's Stash (16/1), Westerner Ocean (16/1), Newberry New (18/1), Trimmers Lane (20/1), Alberto's Dream (22/1), Purple Harry (40/1)

Verdict

Ector makes more appeal than most in a perfectly winnable finale, while the likes of Alberto's Dream and Smuggler's Stash are highly unlikely to be found wanting for stamina reserves in what could well be virtually unraceable conditions. Nevertheless, despite an 11lb weights rise for a recent Sedgefield romp, the standout form-based contender is the Jennie Candlish-trained SPIRIT OF HALE who really ought to prove difficult to beat if in anything remotely near similar form.
  1. Spirit Of Hale
  2. Alberto's Dream
