Forecasts

Dark Trooper (7/2), Washington Heights (4/1), Quinault (9/2), Batal Dubai (7/1), Bonny Angel (10/1), He's A Monster (10/1), Russet Gold (11/1), Zaman Jemil (12/1), Dream For Gold (14/1), Radio Goo Goo (16/1), Alpha Capture (18/1), Celtic Champion (20/1)

Verdict

DARK TROOPER has quickly made up into a useful sprinter, producing a career-best display when going in again at Haydock on Sunday and he could well represent a spot of value turned out quickly under a penalty. Quinault, a real success story, has to be respected in search of a remarkable 7-timer with his old adversary Washington Heights another to consider. Batal Dubai completes the shortlist.

  1. DARK TROOPER (IRE)
  2. QUINAULT (GER)
  3. WASHINGTON HEIGHTS
