Forecasts

Born Ruler (6/4), Jean Baptiste (3/1), Pol Roger (4/1), Highwaygrey (10/1), Savrola (10/1), Glasses Up (11/1), Bashful (14/1), Ayr Poet (28/1)

BORN RULER made a positive reappearance when second at Lingfield and he appeals as the type to go on developing this year, so he's preferred to Jean Baptiste, who ran a cracker at Newcastle 10 days ago. Pol Roger is another big player bidding for back-to-back C&D wins for a bang-in-form stable.
