Forecasts

Inver Park (9/4), Encouraged (5/2), Daafy (5/1), Global Esteem (15/2), Bringitonboris (8/1), Gainsbourg (11/1), Mostallim (25/1), Gavi Di Gavi (40/1)

INVER PARK made a promising stable debut/return and remains open to progress for George Boughey. He finished off his race well at Windsor and can go one better with the extra furlong to suit. Encouraged stepped up on his return last time and could be the main danger, with Daafy completing the shortlist having won over C&D on 2 of his last 3 starts.
