Forecasts

Ventura Express (11/4), Thriller's Moon (11/4), Rebel Redemption (10/3), Jerbourg (13/2), Vintage Polly (12/1), Dominic's Grey (12/1), Grandads Best Girl (25/1), Nellie French (25/1), Gina D'cleaner (40/1), Maybellene (50/1), Beignet (80/1)

It looks a matter of time before THRILLER'S MOON gets his head in front, having shaped well in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up at Lingfield earlier this month. Ventura Express will benefit from this return to 6f and looks the main danger on paper, ahead of John Quinn's Rebel Redemption.
