Forecasts

Nikovo (9/4), Smart Deal (9/2), Boasty (11/2), Red Hat Eagle (6/1), Wadacre Grace (13/2), David's Diva (8/1), Egoiste (14/1), War Of Words (16/1), Handel (28/1), The Mouse King (28/1)

Verdict

The most appealing of these is NIKOVO, who made a winning start for this yard in good style at Newcastle and a 5 lb rise is unlikely to stop him in his tracks. Wadacre Grace is proving consistent and is next on the list ahead of Red Hat Eagle and the hat-trick seeking Egoiste.

  1. NIKOVO
  2. WADACRE GRACE
  3. RED HAT EAGLE
