Forecasts

Cudgel (2/1), Return Fire (2/1), Nights In Venice (10/3), Grand Voyage (5/1), Stowaway John (22/1)

Verdict

NIGHTS IN VENICE proved better than ever to shed his maiden tag at Ayr last month and, given his lack of miles on the clock as a chaser, is fancied to follow up. Cudgel has a fine course record and arrives in good nick, so clearly rates as the biggest threat, with Return Fire making most appeal of the remaining trio.

  1. NIGHTS IN VENICE
  2. CUDGEL
  3. RETURN FIRE (IRE)
