Forecasts

Embassy Gardens (8/11), Cool Survivor (2/1), Lets Go Champ (9/2), Grand Soir (20/1), Hunt Museum (250/1), One Horse Army (300/1)

Useful-hurdler COOL SURVIVOR is worth another chance to confirm the promise of his chase debut returning to a trip that will prove much more suitable. Embassy Gardens was of similar ability over timber so is an obvious threat going chasing on his return.
