Betting Forecast
4/1 Torbados, 10/1 Hakin Adraar, 10/1 Mister Moet, 100/30 Zoulette, 4/1 Grand Vista, 14/1 Personal Pride, 18/1 Captive Beauty, 10/1 Pennine Way, 7/1 Athenian Spirit, 12/1 Distillation, 100/1 The Floors Munky
Verdict
Zoulette brings recent winning form into the race but she hasn’t fared well with the draw and may prove vulnerable. Grand Vista and the unexposed Pennine Way (second choice) can go well but it might be worth chancing HAKIN ADRAAR now he returns to the AW.[Paul Smith]
