Forecasts

Bathiva (5/4), Court Royale (5/2), Demon D'Aunou (11/4), Folly Gate (3/1), Romanor (4/1), Shut The Box (6/1), Theatre Mix (9/1)

Verdict

It's hard to look beyond BATHIVA, who took a sizeable step forward when scoring over C&D when last seen in March and he brings potential to the table for his new connections. Folly Gate can be expected to step up on his hurdles exploits now tackling the larger obstacles and he gets the nod ahead of Court Royale for forecast purposes.

  3. COURT ROYALE (IRE)
