Forecasts

Elusive Heights (2/1), Aegeus (9/2), Absolute Dream (9/2), Destroyer (6/1), Keswick (9/1), Takeonefortheteam (11/1), Peruvian Summer (11/1), Zephyrina (12/1), Sea Fox (14/1), Placebo Effect (16/1), London Protocol (16/1), Buzz Killington (25/1), Grand Inquisitor (25/1)

AEGEUS ran well on the AW last time out and he can register a first victory on turf by taking this competitive looking handicap event. The selection has run well on the forecast good ground in the past and he can get the better of his rivals here with penalised runner Takeonefortheteam, a winner at Kempton on his latest outing capable of finishing runner-up ahead of Elusive Heights who is fitted with a hood having run well when finishing second on his latest outing.
