Forecasts

Rupert The Prince (15/8), Star Of Jupiter (3/1), Corsican Caper (7/2), Assured (10/1), Golden Flame (11/1), Captain Robert (12/1), Cherry Cola (20/1), Masterdream (22/1), Sophar Sogood (25/1), Young Endless (28/1), Smith (100/1), Sobegrand (200/1)

CORSICAN CAPER has shown consistent form with back-to-back seconds, most recently running a cracker at Nottingham despite hanging right in the final furlong. Young Endless remains in form and the switch to blinkers may sharpen him up. Star of Jupiter has been consistent with placings in four of his last five starts including at this course and distance.
