Forecasts

Montregard (2/1), My Gift To You (5/2), Mactavish (11/4), State Of Honor (11/4), Wot You Wearing (6/1), Izzy's Grey (15/2), Came From Nothing (15/2), Shesupincourt (11/1), Archie Macdart (12/1), Stargazer Belle (25/1), Churchman (40/1)

Verdict

There should be plenty more to come from MONTREGARD, who landed the odds in a Warwick maiden during the spring and is likely to relish this stiffer test now moving into handicap company. State of Honor was all set to make a successful handicap debut over C&D when last seen 8 months ago and will be a threat if none the worse for that tumble. Mactavish is third choice ahead of My Gift To You.

  1. MONTREGARD (FR)
  2. STATE OF HONOR (IRE)
  3. MACTAVISH
