Forecasts

Zoffany Bay (5/2), Top Beak (5/2), Iconic Belle (5/1), Gerry The Glover (7/1), The Lords Walk (8/1), Zaria (17/2), Presence Process (14/1)

Gerry The Glover and Top Beak could easily take this on the pick of their form, and both ran well here last time, but neither can be relied upon as punting propositions given their respective losing streaks, and they are opposed for win purposes with ZOFFANY BAY, who bounced back to his best at Chepstow last time, and looked slightly unlucky not to score.
