Forecasts

Inneston (9/4), Atlanta Brave (7/2), Blow Your Wad (11/2), Pearly Island (15/2), Artistic Choice (15/2), Equinus (10/1), Red Windsor (14/1), Kaleb (16/1), Maclaine (20/1), Glen Cannel (20/1), Toothless (20/1), Our Champ (22/1)

Verdict

A quick turnaround is a slight concern for INNESTON after such a huge effort in the Sandown EBF Final, but assuming he's over those exertions, then another big run seems highly likely. Blow Your Wad could get back on track now venturing into handicaps after a break, with Artistic Choice completing the shortlist.

  1. INNESTON (FR)
  2. BLOW YOUR WAD (IRE)
  3. ARTISTIC CHOICE (IRE)
