Forecasts

Dundory (5/2), Miss Blennerhasset (3/1), Bug Boy (9/2), On The Right Track (9/2), Baez (5/1), Prince Ali (18/1), Papas Boy (20/1), Zillion (20/1), Breccia (33/1), Borak (66/1)

DUNDORY is a likeable sort who shaped well from a less-than-ideal position when second at Leicester recently, so he's fancied to resume winning ways at the possible expense of the less-exposed Baez. who appeals as a likely improver up in trip. Bug Boy is also of interest back on turf having capitalised on his lower AW mark at Kempton last time.
