Forecasts

Electron Bleu (13/8), Punxsutawney Phil (16/5), Concrete King (6/1), Gerolamo Cardano (9/1), Iron Horse (11/1), Emphatic Qualm (14/1), Ailes D'amour (18/1), Pittsburg (18/1), Turning Gold (40/1), Eppleton Collier (50/1), Doyens De Ante (80/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on a switch to Fergal O'Brien reviving the fortunes of ELECTRON BLEU as he's well treated on his peak form for his previous yard. Concrete King is one who could have more to offer now moving into handicap company so he's feared most ahead of December's C&D second Iron Horse.

  1. ELECTRON BLEU (FR)
  2. CONCRETE KING (IRE)
  3. IRON HORSE
