Forecasts

Bagheera Ginge (5/2), Dan's Chosen (10/3), Investment Manager (4/1), Glajou (4/1), Romanor (9/2)

Verdict

Cases can be made for each member of the quintet, with BAGHEERA GINGE shading preference. The form of his effort at Worcester is strong and he shaped like the clear second best at the weights when third at the same course last time. The combination of the drop back in trip and better ground will help, while the addition of cheekpieces may help eke out a little more. Romanor is second choice ahead of Dan's Chosen, who got the better of Glajou over C&D last time, and Investment Manager.

  1. BAGHEERA GINGE
  2. ROMANOR
  3. DAN'S CHOSEN (IRE)
