Forecasts

Saxon Queen (15/8), Testflight (10/3), Classic Concorde (11/2), Bright Sunbird (7/1), Prison Break (8/1), Racing Spirit (17/2), Saved By The River (9/1), Dakota Beat (10/1), Top Man (11/1), Ernesto (12/1), Corrany (22/1), Orchestrated (33/1), Daybreak Boy (125/1)

Verdict

SAXON QUEEN only won a small-field race at Newton Abbot last month but the second won next time and she still looks well treated off effectively 2 lb higher this afternoon. Recent Worcester runner-up Classic Concorde is second choice ahead of Prison Break, who is well treated and hinted at a revival last time.

  1. SAXON QUEEN
  2. CLASSIC CONCORDE (IRE)
  3. PRISON BREAK (IRE)
