Forecasts

Black Poppy (5/6), Maninsane (7/2), Just The Man (15/2), Gambie Tiep (8/1), Chantilly Haze (11/1), Sulbrick (20/1), Letsbe Avenue (28/1), Famoso (50/1), Stamina Chope (80/1)

Verdict

The two with the most appealing claims are BLACK POPPY and Maninsane. Choosing between them isn't easy, but there is hope that Black Poppy will raise his game a touch now going down the handicap route off an opening mark which, judged on the form of his debut success in a Warwick bumper last spring, looks manageable. Gambie Tiep is most interesting of the remainder.

  1. BLACK POPPY
  2. MANINSANE (IRE)
  3. GAMBIE TIEP (FR)
