Forecasts

Melody Of Scotland (11/4), East Indies (7/2), Jumping Jack (13/2), Garo De Juilley (8/1), Fergall (8/1), Regulation (10/1), Shining Romeo (12/1), Solatentif (12/1), Bleu Et Noir (16/1), Phoenix Dawn (20/1)

BLEU ET NOIR should be fitter than last time and is well handicapped on the pick of his old form so might be worth chancing in an open event. Last year's winner East Indies may well have been prepped for this and shouldn't be far away off the same mark, while bottom weight Jumping Jack knows how to finish in the money without getting his head in front. Higher up the weights Shining Romeo, Melody Of Scotland, and Garo De Juilley shouldn't be far away either.
