Forecasts

Whistle Stop Tour (9/4), Coniston George (11/4), Got Your Back (7/2), Sea God (4/1), Ozzy Cosmo (5/1), Al Kalila (13/2), Teddy Mac (300/1)

Verdict

Preference is for CONISTON GEORGE, who was strong at the finish when scoring at Carlisle last month and moving up in trip here may well be the catalyst for further progress. Sea God is something of an unknown quantity and is feared most ahead of the promising Ozzy Cosmo and Whistle Stop Tour.

  1. CONISTON GEORGE (IRE)
  2. SEA GOD (IRE)
  3. OZZY COSMO (IRE)
