Forecasts

Concetto (10/3), One True King (11/2), Flash Gorcombe (11/2), Rockinastorm (6/1), James Jet (6/1), School Days Over (9/1), Horacio Apple's (10/1), Storm Control (10/1), Cartonne (14/1), Tide Times (16/1)

Verdict

ONE TRUE KING is clearly in rude health at present and has won off higher marks in the past, so looks up to completing the hat-trick. Concetto showed a willing attitude when making all at Huntingdon and rates a big threat with a repeat, with another in-form sort Flash Gorcombe best of the others.

  1. ONE TRUE KING (IRE)
  2. CONCETTO (FR)
  3. FLASH GORCOMBE
