6/4

Forecasts

Enough Already (6/4), Mercurius Power (5/1), Zulu Girl (6/1), Dawn View (6/1), Victorious Night (7/1), Zlatan (12/1), Poetic Force (16/1), Graignes (20/1), Porterinthejungle (66/1)

VICTORIOUS NIGHT was back to form and a bit better than the result at Salisbury 5 days ago, so he takes marginal preference over Dawn View, who enhanced an excellent course record when scoring here last month. Mercurius Power is another one to consider on reappearance.
