Forecasts

Inca De Lafayette (8/11), Gold In Doha (3/1), Diligent (7/2), Tip Top Tonto (12/1), To Dream (150/1)

Verdict

INCA DE LAFAYETTE did the job well on his hurdles debut for new connections over C&D last month and, with the strong possibility of better to come from this French import, he should prove too good for these rivals. Diligent looks vulnerable conceding weight all round following a six-month absence and Gold In Doha, who made an encouraging start over hurdles at Fontwell, is second choice.

  1. INCA DE LAFAYETTE (FR)
  2. GOLD IN DOHA (FR)
  3. DILIGENT (FR)
