Forecasts

Kintaro (6/4), Grenardier (10/3), Albert Park (4/1), Mach Ten (8/1), Sevenofus (12/1), Kap De Triomphe (12/1), Whatmakes Honey B (14/1)

Verdict

KINTARO probably found 3m too much of a test last time and is better judged on his C&D effort in November. He was in the process of running creditably when departing at the second-last here on that occasion and is now 7 lb lower in the weights. Handicap debutant Grenardier appears to be gradually finding his feet and rates the main danger ahead of another contesting a handicap for the first time, namely Whatmakes Honey B.

  1. KINTARO
  2. GRENARDIER
  3. WHATMAKES HONEY B (IRE)
