Forecasts

Gemirande (3/1), Peejaybee (4/1), Scipion (11/2), Sopran Thor (11/2), High Stakes (7/1), Certainly Red (9/1), Precious Eleanor (9/1), High Up In The Air (22/1)

Verdict

GEMIRANDE is firmly on the up for Venetia Williams and fancied to make light of a 10 lb hike in the weights for his stylish success at Southwell. Certainly Red is feared most on the back of his Wincanton victory, ahead of Precious Eleanor, who should take a big step forward from her Market Rasen fourth after an absence.

  1. GEMIRANDE (FR)
  2. CERTAINLY RED
  3. PRECIOUS ELEANOR (FR)
