Forecasts

The Crafty Mole (1/1), Believitanducan (7/2), Rubio De Oro (13/2), Little Venice (10/1), Scarbados (10/1), Hound Dog (12/1), Succeed (33/1), Emilshaan (66/1)

THE CRAFTY MOLE relished the step up in trip when getting off the mark at Wetherby just under 3 weeks ago and he's taken to confirm his superiority over Believitanducan, who made much more impact than previously on handicap debut when 4¼ lengths back in third. Rubio de Oro needs to leave a shocking effort at Wolverhampton earlier in the month behind, but he rounds off the shortlist switched to turf for the first time.
