Forecasts

Rene Artois (16/5), Dalvey (7/2), Ghumama (5/1), James Henry (5/1), Skontonovski (5/1), Astelia (8/1), Supposedtobe (10/1), Sweeping Statement (16/1), Never Back Down (20/1), Deluca Chop (22/1), Movie King (25/1), Ten Coins (33/1), Adapt To Dan (33/1), Power On (33/1), Boragh Empress (66/1), Shore (66/1), Sir Lovealot (125/1)

DALVEY can boast a C&D win and holds good claims at these weights so is taken to resume winning ways at the chief expense of fellow C&D scorer Ghumama. Skontonovski is another to consider along with the handily-weighted Rene Artois in a very open claimer.
