Forecasts

Fourth Of July (3/1), Cudgel (9/2), Patagonia (9/2), Going Mobile (13/2), Ensel Du Perche (9/1), Bandit D'Ainay (10/1), Budarri (10/1), My Macho Man (10/1), Ashjan (11/1), Follow Your Fire (12/1), Shaw's Cross (12/1), Our Marty (16/1), Choix Des Armes (18/1), War At Sea (20/1), The Player Queen (20/1), Kingofthecotswolds (125/1)

Verdict

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and Gary Hanmer's new recruit PATAGONIA looks the way to go nudged up only 1lb for his very good Wetherby runner-up effort last month. Cudgel is always to be much respected round here and is next on the list ahead of another C&D scorer Going Mobile.

  1. PATAGONIA (FR)
  2. CUDGEL
  3. GOING MOBILE (IRE)
