Forecasts

Getaway Tom (11/4), Sassified (10/3), Escobedo (9/2), Vin Rouge (7/1), Turpin Gold (17/2), Good Impression (10/1), Karannelle (14/1), Lady Reset (20/1), Rogue Mission (20/1), Pepsiwithacap (25/1), Reams Of Love (25/1), Ascot Day (33/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but GETAWAY TOM has improved with every run since going into handicap company so edges the vote. Sassified is also going the right way now in this sphere and rates a big threat in his hat-trick bid. C&D winner Karannelle and the handily-weighted Turpin Gold are two others to consider in a competitive handicap.

  1. GETAWAY TOM (IRE)
  2. SASSIFIED (IRE)
  3. KARANNELLE (IRE)
