Forecasts

Defining Battle (9/4), Torigni (4/1), Dino Velvet (5/1), Homme Public (13/2), Orkan (8/1), Theatre Legend (8/1), Fete Champetre (9/1), Dubai Days (10/1), Iolani (20/1)

Verdict

FETE CHAMPETRE has improved with each start over hurdles and an opening mark of 117 looks very workable given he beat a horse rated 120 when scoring at Wetherby recently. Defining Battle chased home last week's Aintree runner-up Camprond at Taunton last time and should have more to come in handicaps so he looks the chief threat ahead of Torigni.
