Forecasts

Nestor Park (4/1), Mill Green (11/2), Aye Right (6/1), Celebre D'Allen (6/1), Thomas Darby (15/2), Ramses De Teillee (8/1), Sam Brown (17/2), Good Boy Bobby (9/1), Cepage (12/1), De Rasher Counter (14/1), Top Ville Ben (14/1), Lord Du Mesnil (16/1), Cyclop (22/1), Two For Gold (25/1), Boldmere (25/1), The Galloping Bear (28/1), Landofsmiles (50/1)

Verdict

It's worth chancing RAMSES DE TEILLEE, who has won his last two starts immediately on the back of wind operations, including when scoring in good style on his reappearance over this C&D last season, and he has undergone another round of surgery ahead of this return to action. Aye Right is taken to reverse C&D placings with Thomas Darby and Mill Green and emerge as the main danger. That said, a case can also be made for hat-trick seeker Good Boy Bobby.

  1. RAMSES DE TEILLEE (FR)
  2. AYE RIGHT (IRE)
  3. GOOD BOY BOBBY (IRE)
