Forecasts

Documenting (7/4), Spycatcher (10/3), Lord Of The Lodge (10/3), Orbaan (7/1), Highland Dress (10/1), Ostilio (16/1)

This looks to revolve around DOCUMENTING, who did all that could be expected against one on an upward curve over C&D just over 3 weeks ago. He took this corresponding race in 2019 and, with Ryan Moore booked, he gets the nod to notch a fourth C&D success. Karl Burke saddles a couple and his Lord of The Lodge is narrowly preferred over Spycatcher for the forecast spot.
