Forecasts

Wenyerreadyfreddie (15/8), Polydora (9/2), Walt (7/1), Wilde Blue Yonder (8/1), Onefitzall (8/1), De Rasher Counter (10/1), Golden Sunrise (14/1), Head To The Stars (14/1), Mount Rushmoore (33/1)

Verdict

WENYERREADYFREDDIE is a confident selection to follow up his back-to-back Ascot wins with the latest working out really well. Polydora impressed latest and rates the main danger with his jumping a clear plus. De Rasher Counter was promising first time over fences and while things haven't quite gone to plan since he still makes appeal off this mark.
