Forecasts

Belgarum (7/4), Invictus De Brion (9/2), Camino Rocio (11/2), Barrakhov (6/1), Smurfette (11/1), Buck Of Maine (14/1), Groom De Cotte (16/1), Prime Pretender (18/1), Double Or Quits (25/1), J'ventile (40/1)

Verdict

PRIME PRETENDER is well handicapped on the form he showed in the 2022/23 season and 2 point wins in April suggest he could retain enough ability to take advantage of his reduced mark. Belgarum already has a course chase win to his name this summer and is second choice ahead of Barrakhov.

  1. PRIME PRETENDER
  2. BELGARUM (IRE)
  3. BARRAKHOV (IRE)
