Forecasts

Sergeant Wilson (10/11), Byzantine Empire (7/2), Feel The Pinch (13/2), Polyphonic (15/2), Stonific (10/1), Elham Valley (33/1), Socialist Agenda (33/1), Ithaka (66/1)

Verdict

SERGEANT WILSON is undoubtedly a quirky customer, but he looked the likely winner for much of the race only to be reeled in on the line in a Doncaster handicap in March and makes plenty of appeal on his return with his yard amongst the winners. Polyphonic is a consistent sort who could take his form up to a new level having joined the upwardly-mobile stable of James Owen, with Ithaka another to keep a close eye on in the betting.

  1. SERGEANT WILSON (IRE)
