Forecasts

Jeremys Flame (9/4), Gevrey (7/2), Bold Enough (4/1), Kitty Galore (9/2), Ferdia (7/1), Bold Emperor (8/1), Vado Forte (17/2), Deadheat (66/1)

Verdict

GEVREY looks pretty versatile trip-wise and could be the answer to a tricky-looking contest. He wasn't disgraced in a Class handicap chase off a 4 lb higher mark at Perth recently and gets the nod ahead of Bold Enough, who wasn't disgraced in a valuable event over 22.5f when last seen in July and will be a threat if coping with this drop in trip. Jeremys Flame and Kitty Galore are others to consider.

  1. GEVREY (FR)
  2. BOLD ENOUGH (IRE)
  3. JEREMYS FLAME (IRE)
