Forecasts

Harbour Vision (7/2), Distinction (5/1), Local Bay (6/1), Astroman (6/1), Queen Of Burgundy (15/2), Peruvian Summer (17/2), Headora (12/1), Mythical Madness (14/1), Rushmore (14/1), Defilade (20/1), Zefferino (22/1)

Verdict

LOCAL BAY is still relatively low mileage for a 4-y-o and wasn't disgraced from an unpromising position when third at Newcastle in January, so he remains one to be positive about at this level having joined another capable yard. Distinction is down to a workable mark and not taken lightly, while recent C&D winner Queen of Burgundy completes the shortlist.

  1. LOCAL BAY
  2. DISTINCTION (IRE)
  3. QUEEN OF BURGUNDY
