Forecasts

Fortunate George (11/4), Desert Sensation (5/1), Bon Enfant (7/1), Max Forte (8/1), Spellbound (8/1), Joe Farrell (12/1), Doctor Look Here (16/1), Awaywiththegreys (16/1), Dartford Warbler (16/1), Wizards Bridge (18/1), Forthefunofit (20/1), Theatre Goer (20/1), Ballyheigue Bay (25/1), Captainofindustry (33/1)

Verdict

The booking of Richard Johnson looks like a boost to FORTUNATE GEORGE's chance and his consistency can see him over the line against some of these "in and out" rivals. Spellbound shaped well last time and he would have a chance if returning to his form of 2015 and conditions are likely to suit Bon Enfant and he would have a chance if he can handle carrying top-weight. 1. Fortunate George 2. Spellbound 3. Bon Enfant
