Forecasts

Coltrane (5/4), Sweet William (3/1), Trueshan (10/3), Broome (6/1), The Grand Visir (66/1)

Verdict

COLTRANE has been most consistent in top staying events in the last 18 months or so and is taken to land a second successive win in this, although, in receipt of weight, Trueshan (who has had wind surgery) and Broome have the potential to make life very difficult for him if bouncing back to anything like their best form.
