Forecasts

Faustinovick (9/4), Supreme Escape (7/2), Elixir Du Gouet (4/1), Le Coeur Net (11/2), Pistol Park (17/2), Agamemmon (16/1), Ostuni (20/1), Last Encounter (40/1)

Verdict

This looks wide open and it may pay to side with the returning AGAMEMMON. He was below form when last seen but he's often gone well fresh and could represent a spot of value. The hat-trick seeking Le Coeur Net is feared, along with Last Encounter and Pistol Park.

  1. AGAMEMMON (IRE)
  2. LE COEUR NET (FR)
  3. LAST ENCOUNTER (IRE)
