Forecasts

The Russian Doyen (5/6), Le Precieux (6/4), Charming Zen (7/1), Knockmaole Boy (33/1)

LE PRECIEUX probably hasn't beaten a great deal the last twice but that shouldn't be held against him and he certainly offers the most solid claims with doubts over all of his rivals. The Russian Doyen impressed the time before last where his jumping let him down so he isn't ruled out. Charming Zen also looks likely to improve plenty on his last effort.
