Forecasts

Motown Lake (15/8), Cobra Commander (4/1), Le Tueur (4/1), Kingsmill Gin (7/1), Hartland Quay (12/1), Good Man Vinnie (12/1), Dont Be Robin (14/1), Summit Like Herbie (14/1), Treacys Jim (16/1), Havana River (20/1)

Verdict

MOTOWN LAKE failed to back up his decisive Uttoxeter breakthrough success when fourth at Wetherby last month, but that effort still reads well in the context of this race and he is taken to get the better of recent Taunton winner Cobra Commander. Kingsmill Gin is also worth a second look.

  1. MOTOWN LAKE (IRE)
  2. COBRA COMMANDER (IRE)
  3. KINGSMILL GIN
