Forecasts

SHAMAN DU BERLAIS landed a gamble sent chasing after a 20-month absence at Stratford back in May and, with his reappearance effort at Chepstow easily excused (did too much mid-race), Kerry Lee's charge gets the vote to regain the winning thread. Gallic Geordie was narrowly denied a 4-timer on Tuesday so he's expected to be involved in his current mood, with Thomas Macdonagh next on the list.
