Forecasts

Ebony Jewel (6/4), Serious Ego (7/2), Vision Du Puy (9/2), Minella Charmer (15/2), Corrieben Reiver (9/1), Battle Of Wills (18/1), Countister (25/1)

With the exception of SERIOUS EGO, all of these have either been off the track a while or arrive out of sorts, so he's very much the percentage call following a smooth win at Haydock a month ago. Minella Charmer and Corrieben Reiver are interesting, while leading connections keep the faith with Vision du Puy and the market will reveal plenty.
