Forecasts

Too Friendly (15/8), Restandbethankful (7/2), Tarahumara (18/5), Elham Valley (4/1), Sea The Clouds (4/1), McGowan's Pass (13/2), Karannelle (8/1), Toronet (22/1), With A Start (66/1)

Verdict

TOO FRIENDLY ultimately did too much too soon when third starting out for his new yard at Kempton 3 weeks ago and, if delivered later in the piece by Aidan Coleman here, the 5-y-o could be the answer. Tarahumara will be a threat if able to get back on track returned to this sphere on the back of a wind operation, while Sea The Clouds is also accorded respect.

  1. TOO FRIENDLY
  2. TARAHUMARA
  3. SEA THE CLOUDS (IRE)
