Forecasts

War Horse (5/6), Tropez Power (6/1), Wootton'sun (9/1), Adjuvant (9/1), Madame Ambassador (11/1), Victory (12/1), Dark Mystery (12/1), Rich King (12/1)

There should be more to come from WAR HORSE on the back of his good C&D reappearance second and he can make light of top weight in this interesting 3-y-o handicap. Madame Ambassador should have more to come at this sort of trip and may give Marco Botti's charge most to do ahead of Wootton'sun.
