Forecasts

Dundory (13/8), The Rain King (5/2), Blue Hero (9/2), Beautiful Crown (5/1), Zambezi Magic (6/1), Maxine (11/1), Singing The Blues (12/1), Casting Vote (18/1), Long Call (20/1), Prince Ali (33/1)

DUNDORY didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth here last month so this course scorer is fancied to resume winning ways off a handy-looking mark. Blue Hero is feared most on the back of his recent Bath victory with in-form top-weight Beautiful Crown another who can have a say in an open handicap.
