Betting Forecast
7/1 My Champion, 7/2 Timely Salute, 8/1 Us Officer, 12/1 Hearts To Heaven, 4/6 High Aura
Verdict
This looks a weaker race than the one at Stratford in which HIGH AURA finished third after being pestered at the head of affairs. The three with Flat experience were decidedly moderate in that scene, though Timely Salute did at least run one of his better races last time out.[Alistair Jones]
