Forecasts

Gold Link (13/8), Boom Boom (13/8), Enemenemynemo (3/1), Belvedere Blast (16/1)

GOLD LINK has made a positive start to life over fences and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to add to his Stratford summer success. Perth-scorer Enemenemynemo could emerge as the chief threat after a break, although Nicky Henderson's chasing newcomer Boom Boom could also have a say on his return.
