Forecast Prices: Hunterian 11/4, Approaching Dawn 2/1, Mayor Of Maghera 5/1, Braes Of Doune 6/1, Rorys Gold 16/1, Carmel Valley 12/1, Golden Valour 20/1, Flying Moonlight 20/1, Walk On Walk On 20/1
oddschecker Verdict
Approaching Dawn has to be respected following his Musselburgh success earlier in the month, but marginal preference is for HUNTERIAN. Charlie Johnston's colt was only beaten a neck into second at Hamilton last week and he can race off the same mark, leaving him 2lb well-in. Mayor Of Maghera appreciated the return to the Flat when third last time and is another to consider.
Prediction: 1st Hunterian, 2nd Approaching Dawn, 3rd Mayor Of Maghera
