Forecasts

Bathgate (9/4), Summergrounds (11/4), Balranald (7/1), Dalileo (15/2), Evenwood Sonofagun (15/2), Cave Hill (10/1), Blazing Court (16/1), Don't Look Back (33/1), Love That (40/1), C'Est Quelqu'un (80/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but BATHGATE signalled he is ready to gain a breakthrough victory when an excellent C&D runner-up last time out. Hat-trick seeking Balranald rates the obvious threat, with in-form duo Dalileo and Summergrounds both firmly in the picture too. The lightly-raced Love That completes the shortlist.
