28/1

Forecasts

Trumble (6/4), If You Dare (11/4), Liberated Lady (9/2), Separate (9/1), Chief Of Staff (10/1), Jack's Point (14/1), Pettinger (28/1), Nefarious (28/1), Kondratiev Wave (66/1)

TRUMBLE makes plenty of appeal having won easily over 6f at this venue last month, his second win here. He has been lightly raced this year and he likely has more to offer. If You Dare is another recent course winner that should go close. Liberated Lady will appreciate the step up in trip and she has each-way claims. Any money for Pettinger should be noted.
