Forecasts

Cherry Cola (10/3), Rebel Intentions (5/1), Proper Twelve (11/2), Icare Grandchamp (11/2), Pollypockett (13/2), Ten Past Midnight (13/2), Aviewofthestars (17/2), Systemic (16/1), Ranco (18/1), Sir Canford (22/1), She Has Notions (40/1), Shirocco's Delight (80/1), Ulysses (150/1)

Verdict

ICARE GRANDCHAMP resumed from a lay-off with a very good Fontwell second earlier in the month and Gary Moore's lightly-raced sort rates the pick of the weights off an unchanged mark here. Course-winner Systemic is also weighted to have a say and next on the list ahead of Pollypockett, Cherry Cola and Proper Twelve.

  1. ICARE GRANDCHAMP (FR)
  2. SYSTEMIC
  3. POLLYPOCKETT (IRE)
