Forecasts

Iberio (6/4), My Last Oscar (2/1), Apple Rock (3/1), Guernesey (7/2), Mr Tambourine Man (8/1)

Verdict

The one with the most compelling claims is APPLE ROCK, who typically found plenty for pressure when completing the hat-trick here at the end of last year. He looked a little short of full match-fitness back from 7 weeks off at Ascot and, with that run under his belt, the 9-y-o can resume winning ways. My Last Oscar, also a C&D winner on his sole previous visit to Taunton, may emerge as the main danger given that this trip is a concern for both Iberio and Mr Tambourine Man.

  1. APPLE ROCK (IRE)
  2. MY LAST OSCAR (IRE)
  3. IBERIO (GER)
