Forecasts

King's Commander (3/1), Fairmac (3/1), Enfranchise (4/1), Thunderclap (9/2), Vanity Affair (11/2), Jean Baptiste (8/1), Myristica (12/1), Qaasid (16/1), Strawman (22/1)

KING'S COMMANDER looked one going places when winning at Thirsk when last seen in August. This longer trip is sure to suit, and he can make a successful start in handicaps on his return if all is well. Thunderclap caught the eye at Kempton and is interesting back in distance. Jean Baptiste and Enfranchise are a couple of others to consider in an open contest.
