Forecasts

Hermes Le Gris (9/4), Rocky Hill (3/1), Celtic Fortune (6/1), Damask (8/1), Silver Atom (8/1), Hi Riko (10/1), All Under Control (14/1), Gentleman (14/1), Another Lord (16/1), Pescatorius (28/1), Parsons Stone (33/1), Spiritus Mundi (80/1), Happy Sanchez (125/1), Gala Des Lys (150/1)

Verdict

The suggestion is SILVER ATOM, who posted one of his better efforts when fourth over this C&D in January and a line can be drawn through his latest run at Leicester. Hi Riko took a step back in the right direction at Lingfield and he is second choice, while Celtic Fortune and handicap-debutant Gentleman are others to consider.

  1. SILVER ATOM (IRE)
  2. HI RIKO (FR)
  3. CELTIC FORTUNE (IRE)
