Forecasts

King Of The Road (3/1), Forget The Way (10/3), Mistral Milly (8/1), Mammies Boy (17/2), Kay Tara Tara (9/1), Lifetime Legend (10/1), Jaramillo (11/1), Cottie (12/1), Fautinette (14/1), Let's Go Joe (33/1), Ferrobin (33/1), Fat Sam (40/1), Charlie My Boy (80/1)

Verdict

The progressive KING OF THE ROAD can defy the handicapper again and complete a spring hat-trick. Mistral Milly is another 5-y-o going the right way and is second choice ahead of Fautinette, who took a step back in the right direction when third at Wincanton last time.

  1. KING OF THE ROAD (IRE)
  2. MISTRAL MILLY (IRE)
  3. FAUTINETTE (FR)
