Forecasts

Robin Des Foret (13/8), The Bosses Oscar (5/2), Go Another One (5/2), Due Reward (8/1), Jaime Sommers (16/1), Twobeelucky (40/1), Elegant Dan (50/1), Rightplacerightime (66/1), Hurricane Darwin (150/1)

An interesting race with the vote in favour of THE BOSSES OSCAR. A low-mileage sort, he caught the eye when fifth in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham, leaving the impression he would have gone close if things would have panned out differently. Open to more progress, he earns the vote to make a winning return, with Go Another One and Robin Des Foret also fancied to feature.
