Forecasts

Lord Vetinari (2/1), Gabrial The Devil (7/2), Dragons Tail (4/1), Viscount Loftus (13/2), Showmethedough (8/1), Illusional (8/1), Humble Gratitude (14/1)

A well contested race of its type, this offers a fair opportunity for LORD VETINARI to follow up his impressive course and distance win last time out off a 4lb higher mark at a track that clearly suits him well. The first-time visor may eke the necessary improvement out of Viscount Loftus who has been threatening to win for some time and may be a big danger, while the drop in class should aid both Showmethedough and top weight Dragons Tail. Gabrial The Devil is another worthy of some consideration despite concerns about the trip.
