Forecasts

Garincha (4/1), Super Six (9/2), If Not For Dylan (9/2), Quid Pro Quo (9/2), Enzo D'Airy (5/1), High Moon (11/2), Golden Whisky (6/1), The Paddy Pie (10/1), Evander (14/1), Magic Dancer (16/1), Courtland (25/1), Maypole Class (33/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to SUPER SIX, who shaped encouragingly back from a break at Hereford on just third start in this sphere and he is probably capable of a good deal better than his current mark would imply. Enzo d'Airy bumped into a well-treated rival at Lingfield and he is feared most, albeit only marginally as Golden Whisky is also high on the shortlist having chased home the progressive Fugitif at Chepstow last time. The Paddy Pie is another to consider in a competitive handicap.

  1. SUPER SIX
  2. ENZO D'AIRY (FR)
  3. GOLDEN WHISKY (IRE)
