Forecasts

Isocrate (10/11), Another Fine Mess (4/1), Pirates' Tale (9/2), Optimistic Joe (13/2), Can't Say (16/1), Bredon Hill Dart (16/1), The Cypriot (50/1), Victor Haze (150/1), Confused Again (200/1)

Verdict

ISOCRATE took a marked step forward when runner-up at Sandown 22 days ago and, with more to come, he should be able to open his account in this lesser event. Another Fine Mess is open to improvement and looks the main threat, with Pirates' Tale also not fully dismissed.

  1. ISOCRATE (FR)
  2. ANOTHER FINE MESS (IRE)
  3. PIRATES' TALE
