Forecasts

Jamie's Choice (15/8), Inanna (2/1), Northern Prince (11/2), Showboated (7/1), Cuban Rock (11/1), Irish Dancer (20/1), Grandad Bob (22/1), Henery Hawk (28/1), Hard Nut (50/1), Royal Duke (200/1)

Verdict

Having excelled himself in a C&D maiden, SHOWBOATED can be forgiven a subsequent defeat in handicap company having been badly bumped and can prove his basement mark to be a lenient one this time. Jamie's Choice and Northern Prince occupied the first 2 spots at Redcar last time and both should be involved again.

  1. SHOWBOATED
  2. JAMIE'S CHOICE
  3. NORTHERN PRINCE
