Forecasts

Pride Of America (5/4), Capital Theory (5/2), Greatgadian (11/2), Chichester (13/2), Power Of States (16/1)

Verdict

PRIDE OF AMERICA impressed when posting a smart front-running display on the back of an absence/wind op at Kempton (11f) 33 days ago and a 6 lb rise for that win may not be enough to prevent him following up with the drop back in trip holding no fears. Capital Theory, who was runner-up to the selection that day and has continued in form since, may well emerge as the chief danger.
