Forecasts

Flann (3/1), Jobesgreen Lad (10/3), Family Pot (6/1), Out The Glen (13/2), Judex Lefou (15/2), Guguss Collonges (15/2), Town Parks (8/1), Guillemot (11/1), Loud As Lions (14/1), Arcade Attraction (16/1), Blazer's Mill (16/1), Lots Of Luck (16/1), Ornua (66/1)

Verdict

The majority of these have something to prove for one reason or another but JOBESGREEN LAD is an obvious exception. He produced his best effort yet when resuming winning ways at Hereford last time and a 7 lb rise should be manageable. Conversely, Leicester winner Flann doesn't appeal as follow-up material and it could be that Judex Lefou, who may well bounce back now returned to his optimum trip off a reduced mark, and dual course winner Family Pot will emerge as the main dangers.

  1. JOBESGREEN LAD
  2. JUDEX LEFOU (IRE)
  3. FAMILY POT (FR)
