Forecasts

Groveman (2/5), Avocadeau (4/1), Attain (11/1), Il Sicario (14/1), Champagne Freddie (25/1)

Verdict

Groveman produced a much improved effort last time out at Chepstow and while a reproduction of that may be good enough to win this, he hasn't been the most consistent sort. With that in mind, a chance is taken on two-time course winner AVOCADEAU who is sure to relish conditions here and gets Silvestre De Sousa back on board for the first time in a while. Attain is very consistent and may prove better than the rest.
