Forecasts

Rushford (2/1), Caramelised (4/1), Hoffman (4/1), Franco Grasso (4/1), Hashtagmetoo (6/1), Choirmaster (7/1), Cabrakan (14/1), Singing The Blues (16/1), With Pleasure (33/1), Flying Dragon (40/1)

RUSHFORD opened his account in excellent style under a change of tactics at Windsor 3 weeks ago, ridden more patiently and overcoming a pace bias as he went clear for a cosy success. There's got to be a good chance he'll do better again upped in trip and he makes plenty of appeal. Franco Grasso is feared most in first-time cheekpieces, while Hashtagmetoo is another player.
