Forecasts

Ramiro (5/2), Oso Rapido (3/1), Broken Spear (10/3), Music Society (5/1), Muscika (5/1), Fortamour (11/2), King Of Tonga (8/1), Tyger Bay (10/1)

Verdict

C&D winner OSO RAPIDO lost the race in the stewards' room when demoted to runner-up at York last time so is fancied to gain compensation in this tight-knit sprint. In-form pair Broken Spear and Ramiro can both have a say too and chase home the selection in that order.

  1. OSO RAPIDO (IRE)
  2. BROKEN SPEAR
  3. RAMIRO (IRE)
