Forecasts

The Doyen Chief (11/8), Classic King (5/2), Centara (3/1), Tiny Tetley (15/2), Jupiter Allen (12/1), Super Sabre Sam (40/1), Scout Master (66/1), Captain Marco (80/1), Hidalgo Des Bordes (150/1), J'attendrai (250/1)

Verdict

THE DOYEN CHIEF has better days ahead of him and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having come down late at Lingfield last time when still close up. Classic King rates a big threat on form but might again have to settle for second best ahead of C&D scorer Centara.
