Forecasts

Small Fry (5/4), Crown Of India (11/2), Frankelian (13/2), Road To Wembley (7/1), Berkshire Sundance (15/2), St Pancras (11/1), Zikany (20/1), Nini Star (25/1), Jack The Savage (50/1), Wilderness (66/1), Torre Del Oro (150/1)

Verdict

SMALL FRY recorded his third win from his last 4 outings in ready fashion at Chester 12 days ago and is fancied to shrug off another hike in the weights. Road To Wembley is back in class and that should mean he bounces back, with Frankelian likely to give it another good shot.

  1. SMALL FRY (IRE)
  2. ROAD TO WEMBLEY
  3. FRANKELIAN
