Forecasts

Hermann Clermont (10/11), Champagne Court (9/4), Some Detail (10/3), Pat's Pick (14/1)

With a tongue strap reapplied, HERMANN CLERMONT benefited from the step up in trip to win twice at this C&D in July and he can continue his progress for Gordon Elliott to land the hat-trick. Champagne Court can return to form on his reappearance to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Some Detail.
