Forecasts

Soldier Of Destiny (5/6), Rich Spirit (5/2), Rowdy Romeo (11/4), Mikimoto (9/2), Tommy Johnson (15/2), Hawkseye View (28/1), Treaty Boy (33/1), Lahardaun (33/1), Hang On (50/1), Odd Venture (100/1), Greyrobin Star (100/1), Geordie Night (100/1), Bamboo Bay (150/1), Hollywood Harmon (250/1), Moroccan Moon (250/1), Conscription (250/1)

Verdict

RICH SPIRIT pulled clear with 2 good prospects at Aintree prior to facing a stiff task at Haydock last time, so he's well worth another chance now returned to calmer waters. Soldier of Destiny looks the main threat, ahead of Mikimoto.

  1. RICH SPIRIT
  2. SOLDIER OF DESTINY (IRE)
  3. MIKIMOTO
