Forecasts

Sudu (4/5), Navid (11/4), Golden Circet (5/1), Big Bear Hug (13/2), Pappa Louis (14/1), Vaynor (16/1), Graham (33/1)

SUDU produced his best effort to date and looked unlucky not to finish considerably closer having met with trouble at a crucial stage when fourth on handicap debut at Newbury 3 weeks ago. That marked him down as one to be very interested in moving forward and he can confirm the promise of that effort and come out on top. Fellow 3-y-o's Navid and Pappa Louis may emerge next best, whilst likeable mare Big Bear Hug is certainly not out of things either.
