Forecasts

Piaff Bubbles (2/1), Nights In Venice (4/1), Sadler's Bay (4/1), Shantou Moon (9/2), Topkapi Star (9/1), Don Brocco (12/1), Gypsey's Secret (25/1), Pistol (40/1)

Verdict

The pick of SADLER'S BAY's form in maiden company reads well, and having shaped as though this sort of test would suit when fourth in an extended 2½m handicap at Market Rasen 2 weeks ago, he could just be worth chancing to take a step forward re-united with Brian Hughes. Piaff Bubbles is going the right way and rates a lead threat, along with Shantou Moon who can do better himself at this sort of trip.

  1. SADLER'S BAY

  3. SHANTOU MOON (IRE)
