Forecasts

Kapitaliste (3/1), Getaway Cory (5/1), Zoran (11/2), Chantilly Haze (6/1), Steady Away (15/2), Professor Calculus (17/2), Commander Miller (9/1), Presgrave (12/1), Miss Marette (25/1), Codebook (25/1), Kepy Blanc (28/1), Clouncerna (66/1)

Verdict

ZORAN has been underwhelming so far over hurdles, but much better can be expected now going handicapping at a low level after a breathing operation/11 months off judged on his Flat ability, so he receives the vote. Commander Miller is respected back in handicap company after getting off the mark in a Warwick maiden, while Professor Calculus can also have a say in proceedings if seeing out this longer trip.

  1. ZORAN
  2. COMMANDER MILLER
  3. PROFESSOR CALCULUS
