Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 69| BF| D

Forecasts

Le Beau Garcon (9/4), Runninwild (11/4), Glory Fighter (3/1), Mr Beaufort (5/1), Good Luck Fox (10/1), Triple Jaye (20/1), Eeh Bah Gum (25/1), Blazing Hot (40/1)

MR BEAUFORT bounced back to his previous best in a first-time tongue strap when runner-up at Ayr last week and is likely to take a bit of stopping from the same mark if turning up in similar form. Blazing Hot and Le Beau Garcon head the opposition.
