We said2nd of 8, beaten ¾ at 9/2
MIRABAD 8/1
MIRABAD at 8/1, Dan Skelton and Harry Skelton, looks the one to be on. He makes his first start since a wind operation and comes from a yard in good heart at 25%.
The one worry is long absence.
The dangers are HAMLET'S NIGHT at 40/1 (went close off this mark) and BURDETT ROAD at 11/2.
