Forecasts

Where's Tom (5/2), Daaris (4/1), Sophar Sogood (9/2), Devizes (13/2), Huscari (15/2), La Belle Vie (8/1), Cheng Gong (20/1), The Guvnor (28/1), Hopeforthebest (33/1), Tying The Knot (33/1), Aris De Crat (50/1), Cinzento (80/1)

DEVIZES beat a subsequent winner on his last visit to this track and, if he's able to get the lead from a wide draw, he could prove hard to pass. Sophar Sogood looks interesting back up in trip and Where's Tom is likely to be on the premises once again.
