Forecasts

Fox Vardy (6/4), Ravens Ark (9/4), Charging Thunder (5/2), Contingency Fee (10/3), Golden Valour (10/1), Amazing Red (11/1), Russian Virtue (50/1), Henry The Fifth (125/1)

It may be worth chancing the well-being of FOX VARDY starting out for a new yard given he won on the back of a similar absence in 2020 and is well weighted these days. Golden Valour has also been given a chance by the assessor, with the in-form Charging Thunder likely to be on the premises.
