Forest Jason remains the ante post favourite (5-1 Bet365) despite his defeat in the first round of the Coral Golden Sprint.
Julie Bateson’s runner did well to survive first bend bumping before qualifying in third place behind Signature Callum, who, at 12-1 looks great value, given this FOY over course and distance in 2019, his seeding, strike rate and draw in the semi finals.
Quickest on the night was Magical Houdini with a 23.82 run. He is second favourite (6-1) despite a tricky draw on the outside of Forest Jason in the semi finals.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night is that there is only one local runner among the 18 semi finalists, Seaglass Shadow.
