Forecasts

Zhang Fei (5/6), Good Impression (6/1), Daany (7/1), Pak Army (9/1), United Front (14/1), Omaha Wish (14/1), Coup De Gold (14/1), Breccia (16/1), Polling Day (16/1), Stage Show (20/1), Afta Party (20/1), Forever A Dove (25/1), Bears Hug (33/1), Silver Chord (66/1)

Verdict

PAK ARMY shaped well when third over 19f at Fontwell last time and this keen-going C&D scorer can resume winning ways now back in trip. Zhang Fei remains unexposed in this sphere and arrives fit from the Flat so rates a big threat. In-form pair Coup de Gold and Polling Day also need factoring into this open handicap.

  1. PAK ARMY (IRE)
  2. ZHANG FEI (FR)
  3. COUP DE GOLD (IRE)
