Forecasts

Thapa VC (85/40), Crane (10/3), Semper Augustus (4/1), Ventura Vision (13/2), Always Dreaming (9/1), Tick Toch (10/1), Doonbeg Farmer (22/1)

SEMPER AUGUSTUS was running well on tapeta earlier in the year before tackling a competitive sales race at Newmarket. Returning to an artificial surface combined with stepping up in trip, he's chanced to get off the mark. Thapa Vc has been raised 4 lb for his Wolverhampton victory and should be a threat. Ventura Vision will appreciate the step up in trip and has each-way claims.
