Forecasts

Air Commander (3/1), Sharinay (7/2), Soldier's Empire (7/2), Chicago Critic (7/1), Starliner (8/1), Raknah (10/1), Neo Smart (14/1), Barnso (14/1), Uncle Albert (14/1), Profit Refused (22/1), Bid For Chester (25/1), Going Remote (28/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances. AIR COMMANDER remains with better days ahead of him having gone freely when sixth over C&D last time so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways. Handicap-debutants Sharinay and Soldier's Empire both bring a fair bit of potential too and can chase home Aidan O'Brien's Kingman colt in that order. The handily weighted Uncle Albert completes the shortlist.

  1. AIR COMMANDER (IRE)
  2. SHARINAY
  3. SOLDIER'S EMPIRE (IRE)
