Forecasts

Pop Favorite (4/1), Disarming (4/1), Trepidation (5/1), Kerrera (11/2), Broughtons Chief (9/1), Sam Bellamy (11/1), Roca Magica (12/1), My Lady Claire (16/1), New Look (16/1), Caribbean Spring (16/1), Born To Sire (28/1), Favoured Destiny (100/1)

POP FAVORITE has shown his best form on polytrack including when a close third at Lingfield earlier in the month. His yard sent out a winner earlier in the week and he should prove too good for mostly older rivals. Disarming is a C&D winner and she has some form which would see her go close. Trepidation is relatively consistent for this grade and he can't be ruled out either.
