Forecasts

Infiniti (7/2), Rootless Tree (4/1), Highlander Madrik (5/1), Branson Missouri (11/2), Click And Collect (7/1), Lusitanien (8/1), Zamani (17/2), Thomas Kershaw (10/1), Good Impression (11/1), King Ferdinand (12/1), Amlovi (25/1), Cold Shoulder (33/1), Kilcaragh Boy (40/1), Heritier (50/1), No Reaction (100/1)

Verdict

ZAMANI is dangerously well treated so it's worth taking a chance that a return to hurdles sees him bounce back to form. Highlander Madrik strikes as one who could have more to come in handicaps so he's potential danger, particularly if backed. It's possible the return to testing ground will help Lusitanien so he's also on the shortlist.

  1. ZAMANI (GER)
  2. HIGHLANDER MADRIK (FR)
  3. LUSITANIEN (FR)
