Forecasts

Double Red (3/1), Clermont Ferrand (7/2), Giselles Defence (9/2), Fast Steps (11/2), Golden Phase (7/1), Dayzee (11/1), Lunario (11/1), Holy Smoker (16/1), Chourmo (40/1)

Cases can be made for plenty but the most persuasive is for DOUBLE RED, who has returned an improved model this season and arrives chasing a hat-trick following a couple of commanding wins at Nottingham back in April. Heading up the dangers is Clermont Ferrand, who should be capable of better now handicapping, with Giselles Defence and Lunario taken to fight out minor honours.
