Forecasts

Intrinsic Bond (3/1), Fortamour (4/1), Bossipop (4/1), Gale Force Maya (9/2), Paws For Thought (11/2), Macho Pride (11/2)

This looks very competitive, despite the small field. MACHO PRIDE took a step forward when striking at Haydock recently and while this demands another personal best, Ben Haslam's charge may well be equal to the task. Intrinsic Bond is greatly respected, for all that a 10 lb rise for his decisive Catterick success won't be easy to shrug off, and Bossipop needs considering, too.
