Forecasts

Larry (11/4), Run To Milan (3/1), Two For Gold (10/3), Saint Xavier (5/1), Wishing And Hoping (9/1), Ruthless Article (10/1)

Verdict

RUN TO MILAN shaped as if retaining all of his ability when third behind Wishing And Hoping in the Veterans' Series Final at Sandown and Victor Dartnall's charge is taken to come out on top this time with the yard resurgent in recent days. Two For Gold is used to keeping much better company than this so also needs considering under top weight.

  1. RUN TO MILAN (IRE)
  2. TWO FOR GOLD (IRE)
  3. WISHING AND HOPING (IRE)
