Forecasts

Host (10/11), Bodroy (10/3), Coupe De Champagne (5/1), Mirage Mac (8/1), Coul Queen (18/1)

HOST has improved as he has stepped up in trip and more can be expected as he goes up another furlong. He won comprehensively here earlier in the month and a 4 lb rise should not be enough to halt his progression. Bodroy also won at this venue last month and he could have more to come so has to be respected.
