Forecasts

Nelson Gay (6/4), Obtain (4/1), High Velocity (6/1), Lucky Ava (13/2), Miss Nay Never (7/1), Shanko (9/1), Yimou (10/1), The Defiant (11/1), Han Solo Berger (18/1), Astro Jakk (40/1), Autumn Flight (40/1)

Verdict

Having returned to form with blinkers replacing cheekpieces over 6f here recently, NELSON GAY is likely to prove a tough nut to crack. Indeed, dropping back to the minimum trip looks a good move and he remains 3 lb below his last winning mark. Last-time-out winners High Velocity and Obtain are bound to attract support, but bigger threats may be posed by Yimou and Miss Nay Never.

  1. NELSON GAY (IRE)
  2. YIMOU (IRE)
  3. MISS NAY NEVER (IRE)
