Forecasts

Goshen (4/11), Chez Hans (11/2), Le Grand Rocher (8/1), Manucci (10/1), Admirals Bay (16/1), Isle of Wolves (33/1)

Gary Moore won this race last year and can do so again with GOSHEN. He's progressed quickly to a mark of 88 on the Flat with three wins and as a half-brother to a Listed winner over hurdles should take to this game. Both Chez Hans and Manucci bring potential to this sphere while Le Grand Rocher could be interesting recruit from France for Nick Williams.
