Forecasts

Betty Baloo (9/4), Ladronne (10/3), Frenchy Du Large (4/1), Go On Chez (4/1), Scipion (5/1), Fidux (13/2), One True King (8/1), Corran Cross (11/1), Golden Taipan (33/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to FRENCHY DU LARGE, who pulled clear of the third (Ladronne) when runner-up in a competitive Haydock handicap and a reproduction of that effort would give him every chance. Betty Baloo was pretty impressive over C&D last month, even allowing for the fact that she was probably seen to best effect, and Tim Easterby's charge is feared most ahead of Fidux.
