Forecasts

Strong Glance (9/2), Jacamar (6/1), Earlofthecotswolds (6/1), Clever As A Fox (17/2), Highway One O One (9/1), Monte Cristo (10/1), Caius Marcius (10/1), Mohaayed (11/1), Point Of Principle (11/1), Jolly's Cracked It (14/1), Marlborough Sounds (14/1), Sir Ivan (18/1), En Meme Temps (20/1), Clyne (20/1), Beeno (40/1), Voix Du Reve (50/1)

Verdict

Plenty worthy of consideration, but STRONG GLANCE returned with an excellent third in an up-to-scratch listed handicap at Market Rasen a month ago, and sure to improve for the return to this trip, he could be the answer. Clever As A Fox arrives here on the up and is feared with a top conditional rider taking over, while Monte Cristo should have more to offer this term.

  1. STRONG GLANCE
  2. CLEVER AS A FOX (IRE)
  3. MONTE CRISTO (FR)
