Forecasts

Montassib (1/1), Isla Kai (11/4), Bopedro (11/1), Greatgadian (12/1), Jungle Cove (14/1), Via Serendipity (16/1), Redarna (20/1), Power of Darkness (20/1), Coase (25/1), Lexington Dash (28/1), Shelir (33/1), Imperial Sands (66/1)

Verdict

MONTASSIB has posted 2 very good efforts in top-quality handicaps and looks ready to resume his progress now stepping up to 1m, so he's an appealing candidate. Bopedro is clear second choice having run a race full of promise on his yard debut here a couple of weeks back. Isla Kai completes the shortlist.

  1. MONTASSIB
