Forecasts

Fontaine Collonges (5/2), Beauport (3/1), Certainly Red (4/1), Truckers Lodge (11/2), Broken Halo (17/2), Cyclop (10/1), Fortescue (10/1), Coeur Serein (12/1), Rapper (16/1), Boldmere (33/1)

The vote goes to CERTAINLY RED, a likeable type who should strip fitter following his reappearance spin at Wincanton and shapes as though well worth another try over a marathon trip such as this. The fact that he has winning form here is another plus point. Beauport hasn't gone on as hoped since his successful chase debut last term, but he's edged down to a dangerous mark and is feared most ahead of Fontaine Collonges and Truckers Lodge.
