Forecasts

Construct (4/7), French Resistance (5/2), Contrebasse (6/1), Burn Some Dust (13/2)

CONSTRUCT looks likely to prove hard to beat despite carrying top weight in this three-year-old only handicap. The selection appeared to appreciate the better ground when finishing runner-up over this trip last time out and he can break his maiden at the chief expense of French Resistance who was a winner over 1m1f last time and is tackling this trip for the first time here. Burn Some Dust is bred to appreciate this trip and he can claim third having finished in mid-division on his seasonal bow.
