Forecasts

Sassified (11/4), Iowa (11/4), Druk (15/2), Abstract (8/1), Lunar Power (9/1), Soaring Sky (10/1), Artistic Work (12/1), Pita Pinta (12/1), Macadam's Rock (14/1)

Verdict

DRUK shaped nicely on his Gowran handicap debut 16 days ago and could have more to come at this trip so he gets the nod. Sassified was a good second on his return to action at Navan 4 weeks ago and he may provide the chief threat ahead of Iowa, who was better than the result on his recent reappearance and remains open to progress now stepping up markedly in trip.
