Forecasts

Destin D'Ajonc (9/4), Gemirande (5/2), The Mighty Arc (3/1), Mouseinthehouse (5/1), Enormouse (9/1), Broken Quest (10/1), Thomas Patrick (10/1), El Hageb Rose (16/1), Lord Bryan (22/1)

Verdict

A few in with a shout but DESTIN D'AJONC shaped as though better for the run on the back of wind surgery when fifth on reappearance at Uttoxeter just under 3 weeks ago. That will have blown away any cobwebs so, having been dropped 2 lb, he's put forward as the answer. Gemirande made a pleasing return at Southwell recently and can provide the main threat, ahead of The Mighty Arc.

  1. DESTIN D'AJONC (FR)
  2. GEMIRANDE (FR)
  3. THE MIGHTY ARC (IRE)
