Forecasts

Feivel (16/5), Flowing Cadenza (7/2), Mucho Mas (4/1), Run To Milan (7/1), Make Me A Believer (8/1), Young Bull (8/1), Upton Road (17/2), Silver Hallmark (10/1), Movethechains (11/1), Morning Spirit (18/1), Emmpressive Lady (33/1)

Verdict

This is a deeper race than the one FLOWING CADENZA landed at Ffos Las last time but she could hardly have been more impressive that day and further improvement may well be forthcoming. There are dangers aplenty, headed by Silver Hallmark, who has proved rather hit-and-miss since his Grade 2 novice success but the handicapper is showing mercy and this stiffer test could be just what he needs. Run To Milan, Mucho Mas and Upton Road are others to consider, along with Make Me A Believer.

  1. FLOWING CADENZA
  2. SILVER HALLMARK
  3. RUN TO MILAN (IRE)
