Forecasts

Wonder (7/4), Optician (7/2), Parramount (9/2), Roaring Legend (5/1), Lexington Knight (11/1), Saligo Bay (12/1), Warrior Lion (16/1)

OPTICIAN arrives at the top of his game and with the form of his latest C&D success having been well advertised he is fancied to bag a sixth course victory. James Fanshawe's Wonder is much less exposed and rates the main threat on the back of his encouraging Newcastle fourth with Irish challenger Warrior Lion and Sam England's new recruit Saligo Bay others to consider.
