Forecasts

Open Secret (13/8), Tatateo (6/1), Lexington Knight (13/2), Zhang Fei (13/2), Hill Station (7/1), Uncle Dick (7/1), Bletchley Storm (8/1), Songo (12/1), Dundory (14/1), Bug Boy (25/1)

Verdict

ZHANG FEI is well treated on the best of his Flat efforts and, having scored readily under this rider over hurdles recently, he's worth a chance to make a winning return to this sphere. In-form pair Bletchley Storm and Lexington Knight are both obvious threats.

  1. ZHANG FEI (FR)
  2. BLETCHLEY STORM
  3. LEXINGTON KNIGHT (IRE)
