Forecasts

Champagne Mystery (8/11), Taste The Fear (7/2), One Handsome Dude (4/1), Blakeney Point (10/1), Mr Sociable (14/1), Giovanni Royale (14/1), Jaunty Express (66/1), Jabbea (66/1), Lady Malarkey (125/1), Palermo (125/1)

Verdict

All 4 previous winners have positives and negatives, but ONE HANDSOME DUDE looked very comfortable away from soft ground when successful at Plumpton and the follow up may well be on the cards. Champagne Mystery is the form pick, though he was arguably lucky to win last time, so Taste The Fear, representing the race sponsor, is feared most.

  1. ONE HANDSOME DUDE (IRE)
  2. TASTE THE FEAR (IRE)
  3. CHAMPAGNE MYSTERY (IRE)
