Forecasts

Before Midnight (11/8), Jasmin Des Bordes (7/4), Smackwater Jack (4/1), At Its Own Expense (10/1), Ruffling Feathers (25/1), Movie Theatre (66/1)

Smackwater Jack has a tough task to beat BEFORE MIDNIGHT if their bumper form is to be believed - Before Midnight just proved too good on the day, but meets the runner-up o much better terms here. He has been presented another good chance to get off the mark and he can prove too good once again. Jasmin Des Bordes might prove the biggest threat after a good effort at Chepstow last time out. There should be more to come from him if he settles better.
