Forecasts

Dysart Enos (10/3), Be Aware (7/2), Secret Squirrel (4/1), Kabral Du Mathan (17/2), Steel Ally (9/1), Favour And Fortune (11/1), Fiercely Proud (12/1), Our Champ (14/1), Go Dante (16/1), Impero (22/1), Kihavah (25/1), Black Hawk Eagle (33/1), Tritonic (50/1)

Verdict

A really strong renewal, featuring a few progressive sorts. While this is a different test to the one KABRAL DU MATHAN faced in a small field on his Kempton handicap debut he won with plenty in hand and could easily still be well ahead of his mark. Dysart Enos is taken to turn around Greatwood form with Be Aware and give the selection most to so. Reappearing Scottish Champion winner Favour And Fortune completes the shortlist.

  1. KABRAL DU MATHAN (FR)
  2. DYSART ENOS (IRE)
  3. BE AWARE (FR)
