Forecast Prices: Royal Bodyguard 10/3, My Old Mate 9/2, Mayaada 10/1, Wild Dahlia 6/1, Eastern Veil 5/1, Arbaawy 13/2, Sail On Sailor 10/1, Likeness 12/1, Island Bear 16/1, Fizzy Bear 25/1
oddschecker Verdict
MY OLD MATE won twice at Windsor during the summer before being turned over at Lingfield, when carrying a 6lb penalty, and Windsor. That being said, the Moores' gelding has still been holding his form off higher ratings and may well have more to give. Royal Bodyguard returned to winning ways at Newmarket and has to enter calculations, despite a 4lb rise. Others to note include Eastern Veil and Likeness.
Prediction: 1st My Old Mate, 2nd Royal Bodyguard, 3rd Eastern Veil
