Forecasts

Bol D'Air (5/4), Vocaliser (7/2), Get Rhythm (4/1), Knightly Pleasure (9/2), Three Colours Red (12/1)

Verdict

It remains to be seen whether BOL D'AIR is as effective around here as he was at Plumpton last time but he's the most likely winner if he handles the track and should be able to dominate from the front. Knightly Pleasure represents a yard in form and the first-time cheekpiececs can help her get more competitive while Three Colours Red is a consistent sort who should give another good account.
  1. Bol D'air
  2. Knightly Pleasure
  3. Three Colours Red
