Forecasts

Barging Thru (2/1), Leap Abroad (11/4), Dayman (4/1), Brunel Charm (5/1), Blue Flame (11/2), Little Boy Blue (9/1), Wonder Elzaam (10/1), Golden Warrior (12/1)

LEAP ABROAD has developed an excellent partnership with Mohammed Tabti in the saddle, with the pair winning 3 of their last 6 starts together and finishing runner-up on the other 3 occasions. Their latest success came at Newmarket on Thursday and a penalty may not prevent the hat-trick if turned out again quickly. Last-time-out winner Barging Thru could be the main danger, ahead of Brunel Charm.
