Forecasts

La Bague Au Roi (5/4), Lostintranslation (13/8), Spiritofthegames (9/2), Talkischeap (10/1)

Top class mare LA BAGUE AU ROI can confirm placings with Lostintranslation based on their clash here 22 days ago. Both should be as effective over this shorter trip and with a bit more cut in the ground so they are expected to again battle it out with Warren Greatrex's star coming out on top once more. If there is a fly in the ointment it will likely be Spiritofthegames, a smart hurdler in his own right and already a winner over fences.
