Forecasts

Soir De Gala (11/8), King's Castle (11/2), Freddie Fleetfoot (13/2), Hour Star (15/2), Daany (15/2), Wrong Way Harry (12/1), Summerleaze (20/1), Basman Palace (33/1), Outback Frontiers (33/1), Royal Juniper (33/1), Rebel Angel (33/1), Beau Haze (125/1)

Verdict

SOIR DE GALA was unable to justify strong support but that shouldn't detract from what was a very encouraging handicap debut effort at Plumpton 10 days ago and, a well-bred individual with potential for better still, he looks the one to side with. Knig's Castle may well emerge as the chief threat, with Wrong Way Harry and Rebel Angel others to keep an eye on.

  1. SOIR DE GALA (FR)
  2. KING'S CASTLE (IRE)
  3. WRONG WAY HARRY (IRE)
