Forecasts
The Fresh Prince (7/4), Bishops Court (2/1), Dance Floor King (4/1), Daveron (9/2), Raajih (40/1)
Bishops Court has proved a revelation over fences and is likely to be all the rage under Barry Geraghty, having completed a hat-trick of wins over C&D last time. His chance is obvious despite a further 4lb rise but there may be more value in siding with lightlier-raced THE FRESH PRINCE who looked firmly on the uprgrade himself when scoring in good style at Uttoxeter latest. A 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor Oliver Sherwood's charge, though Dance Floor King also brings winning form into the contest and shouldn't be underestimated.
