Forecasts

Champagne Bob (5/2), Mr Gus (4/1), Velvet Vista (11/2), Aiguillette (9/1), Ubla (10/1), Sherella (11/1), Valley Belle (12/1), Rinty Maginty (18/1), Approve The Dream (20/1), Deeds Not Words (22/1), Potters Question (33/1), The Simple Truth (33/1), Gulland Rock (40/1), Rochford (50/1), Agreeable (66/1)

Not a race to be dogmatic about but CHAMPAGNE BOB arrives on the back of a seasonal best at Chepstow and could be the answer. Aiguillette finished last term in good form and should be sharper for his recent return, with Velvet Vista another to consider back over 7f.
