Forecasts

Aquaman (11/8), The Attorney (2/1), Run To Freedom (4/1), Big Narstie (8/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for all of the quartet but Roger Varian took this contest 12 months ago and he has another likely sort in AQUAMAN who showed further improvement to score at Redcar last month and can defy a 4 lb rise here. Run To Freedom rates the chief threat now he has been eased in the weights, with hat-trick seeking The Attorney not taken lightly either.

  1. AQUAMAN (IRE)
  2. RUN TO FREEDOM
  3. THE ATTORNEY (IRE)
