Forecasts

Jango Baie (9/4), Personal Ambition (3/1), Brucio (5/1), Alnilam (8/1), Bertie's Ballet (9/1), Cannock Park (14/1), Rich Spirit (16/1), Intense Approach (22/1), Dripsey Moon (28/1), Choose A Copper (28/1), Will Knott (125/1), Justus (150/1)

Verdict

A Grade 2 in which it could pay to side with PERSONAL AMBITION, who unlike standard-setter Jango Baie, hails from a stable in rude health at present and is well worth another chance at this level having dominated a Doncaster novice in good style in January. Jango Baie still warrants plenty of respect being a Grade 1 winner, while Brucio is improving in leaps and bounds and needs taking seriously, too.

  1. PERSONAL AMBITION (IRE)
  2. JANGO BAIE (FR)
  3. BRUCIO
