Forecasts

Capitaine (1/14), Status Quo (8/1), Major Davis (16/1), Brean Golf Birdie (66/1)

CAPITAINE hasn't really performed to the standard of his early season form on his last two starts, but they were both in Graded events and he'll find this company far less taxing. If showing his best form he should be winning this with something in hand. Major Davis can do better than he's shown so far and claim second, with the hard-pulling Status Quo needing to settle and jump better than he has so far.
