Forecasts

Mister Fogpatches (3/1), William of Wykeham (10/3), Cherif De L'Isle (9/2), Treacysenniscorthy (13/2), Ellie Mac (8/1), Agent Boru (12/1), Halsafari (18/1), Blast Of Koeman (20/1), King's Song (20/1), Jarob (40/1), Static Jack (40/1), Allez Kal (40/1)

The thriving WILLIAM OF WYKEHAM took another step forward when second at Killarney a couple of weeks ago and is selected to resume winning ways under Philip Enright. Cherif de L'isle has been a model of consistency since joining Gordon Elliott and is likely to be thereabouts again, while Treacysenniscorthy, who did so well last season, will also be a threat if primed for his return.
