Forecasts

Tamaroc Du Mathan (9/2), Farinet (9/2), Dublin Four (5/1), Glen Forsa (5/1), Paint The Dream (8/1), Amoola Gold (11/1), Amour de Nuit (12/1), Senior Citizen (14/1), Kalooki (14/1), Kildisart (25/1)

Verdict

A tightly-knit handicap in which FARINET gets the nod given he still has few miles on the clock for Venetia Williams and will prove well suited by the return to this trip having not got home over 3m at Sandown last time. Kildisart has been sparingly raced this term but shouldn't be underestimated, especially if the market speaks in his favour, while Amoola Gold is weighted to have a say too.

  1. FARINET (FR)
  2. KILDISART (IRE)
  3. AMOOLA GOLD (GER)
