Forecasts

Don Herbager (6/4), Real Armani (4/1), King Of Fashion (11/2), Cudgel (11/2), Speak Of The Devil (12/1), To The Limit (12/1), Costly Dream (12/1), Marvellous Joe (18/1), Frankie Baby (28/1), Imperial Prince (50/1)

Verdict

DON HERBAGER is going the right way and can make it 3 wins in his last 4 starts with the step back up to 3m very much in his favour. King of Fashion rates a threat, particularly if cutting out the jumping errors which almost certainly cost him victory at Ayr last time. Cudgel is also much respected at a venue where he has 3 hurdle wins to his name.
