Forecasts

Deeper Blue (5/2), Ballybreeze (7/2), Sonigino (9/2), Grandeur D'ame (13/2), Bluffmeifyoucan (7/1), Franco D'Aunou (15/2), Stormy Flight (8/1), Buckhorn George (14/1), Smurphy Enki (14/1), Global Agreement (16/1), Jack's A Legend (22/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but Paul Nicholls' SONIGINO looks weighted to bag a third win of the season. Franco d'Aunou is next on the list on the back of his good Fontwell second with in-form maiden Ballybreeze another who can have a say in an open handicap.
