Forecasts

Herecomestheboom (5/4), Rouge Vif (9/2), Inheritance Thief (9/2), Looks Frozen (6/1), Best To Come (15/2), Hey Bud (10/1), Topofthecotswolds (10/1), Ballinahinch (12/1), Terezaz Nimrod (100/1)

Verdict

Topofthecotswolds has been well regarded enough to head the market in both starts so far, though has failed to justify that. A win would not surprise, but another dual-placed runner in LOOKS FROZEN makes more appeal this time. Neil Mulholland's four-year-old almost broke his duck at Fontwell last time and on this slightly less testing ground he can go one better. Herecomestheboom is respected under his penalty, while Hey Bud and Inheritance Thief can both get involved and newcomer Rouge Vif should be closely monitored for market confidence.
