Forecasts

Hachert (6/5), Far From A Ruby (4/1), Van Dijk (7/1), Mercurist (17/2), Vitesse Du Son (11/1), Peachey Carnehan (14/1), Avanzata (16/1), Exchequer (20/1), Okaidi (25/1), Urtzi (33/1), Mr Strutter (40/1), Cesifire (66/1)

HACHERT recorded a good timefigure when scoring over C&D earlier in the month so is worth siding with to defy a 3 lb rise in the weights. Hat-trick seeking Vitesse du Son rates the obvious threat despite also being upped 3 lb, with Okaidi worth a second look on his debut for Tony Carroll after an absence.
