Forecasts

Mohaafeth (1/1), Brunch (11/4), Valiant Prince (5/1), Art Du Val (12/1), Bell Rock (16/1), Marie's Diamond (33/1)

BRUNCH is taken to bag a third course success on the back of his excellent C&D second, at the chief expense of Mohaafeth, who shaped a lot better than his 10th placing suggests at Meydan in March and can get right back on track. Charlie Appleby's duo Art Du Val and Valiant Prince need considering too in an open listed contest.
