Forecasts

Alfred Boucher (5/2), Call My Bluff (4/1), Frankenstella (13/2), Cormier (15/2), Smart Champion (8/1), Star Caliber (10/1), Anna Bunina (10/1), Dark Jedi (12/1), Emiyn (16/1), Reshoun (25/1), Alpine Stroll (25/1), Fair Star (28/1), Morando (33/1), Land Of Winter (40/1), Sir Chauvelin (40/1), Haizoom (50/1)

Verdict

CALL MY BLUFF already has a good effort to his name over C&D this year and could be the answer to this competitive handicap on the back of a decent run at Newmarket last weekend. Last month's York Ebor meeting 1-2 Alfred Boucher and Frankenstella should go well again. The consistent Fair Star completes the shortlist.

  1. CALL MY BLUFF (IRE)
  2. ALFRED BOUCHER
  3. FRANKENSTELLA (IRE)
