Forecasts

Cawthorne Banker (7/4), Intimate (4/1), Tour Ovalie (4/1), Kapamazov (13/2), Evenwood Sonofagun (7/1), Deadlock (7/1), Daany (8/1), Orbys River (12/1), State Of Bliss (16/1), Owl Of Athens (25/1)

Verdict

An open contest but Jonjo O'Neill's CAWTHORNE BANKER looks to start life in handicaps on a good mark so this fairly useful bumper performer gets the vote. Tour Ovalie appeals as another likely improver now setting out in this company and is next on the list ahead of in-form pair Kapamazov and Deadlock.

  1. CAWTHORNE BANKER (IRE)
  2. TOUR OVALIE (FR)
  3. KAPAMAZOV
