Forecasts

Verdict

MOUNTAIN PEAK enhanced his track record with a good second over C&D last time and, if things go his way, he's up to going one better. Bedford Flyer, who was first home of those to race down the centre in the same race, is a danger as well as Intrinsic Bond, although it's an open race in general.

  1. MOUNTAIN PEAK
