Forecasts

Misty Grey (6/4), Tranchee (10/3), Papa Stour (6/1), Intuitive (8/1), Amarillo Star (10/1), Ghaith (16/1), Ventura Lightning (16/1), Sir Maximilian (33/1)

PAPA STOUR has thrived for Stuart Williams and can bring up the hat-trick here. A former C&D winner, he has missed a lot of 2020 but returned in peak form last month and can build on that to score again. Misty Grey has improved since joining Tom Dascombe and will be a formidable opponent. Intuitive may improve for his Chelmsford run and is an each-way player.
