Forecasts

Edmond Dantes (16/5), Brickadank (7/2), Planned Paradise (5/1), Royal Reserve (7/1), Baraboy (15/2), Les's Legacy (9/1), Hajey (11/1), Lleyton (12/1), Stowaway John (28/1), Jess's Corner (66/1), Filou D'Anjou (100/1)

Verdict

Low-grade stuff but EDMOND DANTES is at least unexposed and has offered something to work on both starts in handicaps, so he is tentatively offered as the selection. Brickadank is interesting back over 2m, with Royal Reserve completing the shortlist.

  1. EDMOND DANTES (FR)
  2. BRICKADANK (IRE)
  3. ROYAL RESERVE
