Forecasts

Wrath Of Hector (6/4), Delph Crescent (13/8), Vive La Difference (5/2)

DELPH CRESCENT's run style is conducive to this track so he could be hard to peg back if taking to fibresand. Wrath of Hector won convincingly here on his penultimate start and looks a bigger threat than Vive La Difference.
