Forecasts

Hidalgo De L'isle (1/1), Victory Club (6/5), Perzzini (9/4), Attention All (8/1), I'm Dougal Rocks (11/1), Iltone (12/1), Profiles Mix (20/1)

VICTORY CLUB makes obvious appeal having joined a top yard following his point win, so he's taken to strike at the first time of asking under Rules. Hidalgo de L'isle travelled as well as any when fourth at Newcastle on his debut in March and seems likely to pose the main threat, though strong market support for Irish-raider Perzzini would put a slightly different slant on matters.
