Forecasts

Medalla De Oro (2/7), Doukarov (9/2), Billy Ray (9/1), Piano Stairs (12/1), Perfect Grace (20/1), Goldfox Grey (40/1), Test Valley (66/1), Harbour Sunrise (100/1)

While apportioning due respect to former French-trained Doukarov on his British debut, it isn't easy to get a handle on that form and the very solid selection looks to be MEDALLA DE ORO, who showed improved form here last time and is taken to go one better. Little else makes any serious appeal, but Flat winner Perfect Grace may have enough in the locker to pick up some prize money, and Piano Stairs may be able to show more.
