Forecasts

Boldmere (5/2), Dominateur (3/1), Newtide (9/2), Ardlethen (9/2), Chapel Stile (8/1), Just Your Type (10/1)

Verdict

A competitive renewal. Dominateur just about sets the standard with his two Chepstow wins. Me may well prove good enough to take this, but the suggestion is to take him on with the similarly very useful BOLDMERE, who has won twice with plenty to spare himself and looks destined for better things. Chapel Stile will and Newtide both have a bit to find on what they have achieved, but there is plenty of time for that and neither would be shock winners.
