Forecasts

Genois (11/4), Power Of Pause (3/1), The Friday Man (3/1), Gold Bullion (4/1), The Short Go (6/1), Freedom To Dream (17/2), Midnight Our Fred (18/1), Sky Sprinter (40/1), Riggs (50/1), Man Of The House (66/1), Soldier Of Honour (80/1), Longhouse Star (100/1)

Verdict

THE FRIDAY MAN has achieved enough to think it's only a matter of time before he wins one of these and is the percentage call. Power of Pause and Gold Bullion are potentially dangerous opponents if taking to fences at the first time of asking, while Genois could also have a big say if close to his best after a 7-month break.

  1. THE FRIDAY MAN
  2. POWER OF PAUSE (IRE)
  3. GOLD BULLION (FR)
