Forecasts

Jubilee Express (5/2), O'Connell (7/2), Conkwell Legend (9/2), Ali Star Bert (5/1), Robyndzone (17/2), Gold Emery (9/1), Atakan (16/1), Hold The Note (28/1)

Verdict

ALI STAR BERT probably did well under the circumstances when making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Wetherby 3 weeks ago so shades the vote over the quirky O'Connell, who is capable of winning off his current mark but needs to be played as late as possible. Jubilee Express is another to consider.

  1. ALI STAR BERT
  2. O'CONNELL (IRE)
  3. JUBILEE EXPRESS (FR)
