Forecasts

Safe Destination (3/1), Ballinoulart (7/2), Hard Frost (5/1), Furkash (6/1), Miltiades (13/2), Barrowmount (10/1), He'llstopatthetop (14/1), Hokelami (14/1), Rolling Clouds (14/1), Moodofthemoment (16/1), Noah's Light (33/1)

Verdict

HARD FROST is unexposed as a chaser and likely to come on for his positive reappearance at Market Rasen, so he's narrowly preferred to Miltiades, who opened his account last time. Safe Destination is also of interest for all that consistency isn't his strong suit.

  1. HARD FROST (FR)
  2. MILTIADES (IRE)
  3. SAFE DESTINATION
