Forecasts

Marion's Boy (15/8), Taravara (11/4), Kodiac Harbour (4/1), Quemonda (6/1), Chateau D'if (11/1), Qeyaady (16/1), Breguet Boy (33/1)

MARION'S BOY is thriving at the moment and he should be able to get the C&D hat-trick up today. A 4lb rise looks fair following his win here last month and this is arguably a less competitive race. Taravara is still a maiden but he's come close to losing that tag a few times and he will be a threat. Quemonda should find this a fair bit easier than the listed event she contested last time.
