Forecasts

Verdict

A tricky renewal of the Grimthorpe and a chance is taken that CLOTH CAP will be able to bounce back to something like his best. The track and ground are likely to play to his strengths, and he should be able to outclass his opposition if near peak form. Le Milos has been progressing well this season, whilst Undersupervision remains with scope for improvement in handicaps.
