Forecasts

Elite Charboniere (4/6), Charmed Life (6/1), Malinas Jack (8/1), Erratic Path (10/1), The Red Menace (12/1), Foxy Jacks (20/1), Diol Ker (20/1), Let The Heirs Walk (33/1), Niccolai (33/1), Write It Down (40/1), Atypical (50/1), Rio De Cerisy (66/1), Wooster (66/1), Baily Gorse (100/1), Pino Boy (100/1), Bertoni (100/1)

Verdict

ELITE CHARBONIERE cost a fair penny after winning his second start in a French bumper. The champion trainer has taken his time unleashing another fine prospect in the Ricci silks and they can grab the opener here. Charmed Life has fair prospects of running well while Malinas Jack is likely much better than he showed in the spring in one run. Wooster was decent on the Flat and should be capable of making an impact in this sphere.
