Forecasts

Take Centre Stage (3/1), Ingennio (9/2), Fathers Advice (5/1), Templier (6/1), Lord Denning (6/1), Hostile Hotelier (15/2), Poetry Man (16/1), Master Breffni (20/1), Contre Ordre (22/1), Rollerruler (50/1)

Verdict

The veteran TEMPLIER has done little wrong in three starts so far this season, most recently finishing second off this mark at Ffos Las a fortnight ago, and he looks the most solid option. Hostile Hotelier could be a factor on his debut in this sphere, while Take Centre Stage and fellow chase debutant Lord Denning are also worth a second look.
