Forecasts

Extensio (4/1), Global Export (11/2), Blackpoint (7/1), Kalaroun (8/1), French Company (8/1), L'Un Deux Trois (8/1), Wojood (10/1), Contrapposto (10/1), Walnut Beach (10/1), Storm Steps (11/1), Barrys Rock (11/1), Arctic Blaze (16/1), Draco Pulchrac (16/1), Slieve Bearnagh (20/1), Clueless Hill (20/1), Bynx (20/1), Der Mc (25/1), Valleyoftheeagles (25/1), The Virginian (33/1), Turkestan (40/1), Conamore (50/1)

L'UN DEUX TROIS was at the top of his game on the Flat earlier this summer and having continued the good work back hurdling last time, a bold bid seems assured. Extensio and Storm Steps are a couple of viable threats.
