Forecasts

Shoeshine Boy (85/40), Don Brocco (9/2), Whoa Black Betty (5/1), Stoney Rover (5/1), Final Reminder (6/1), Askgarmor (7/1), Franks Fancy (11/1), Pammi (12/1), Off The Beat (25/1), Barney Stinson (28/1)

Verdict

SHOESHINE BOY and Don Brocco were evenly matched in their meeting at Carlisle late last month, and though Don Brocco got the better of his rival there, Shoeshine Boy is slightly better off at the weights this time and perhaps has more room for progression on only his fourth handicap start. Stoney Rover can fill the frame in a race that lacks depth away from the market leaders.

  1. SHOESHINE BOY (IRE)
  2. DON BROCCO
  3. STONEY ROVER (IRE)
