Forecasts

Bumble Bee Bet (6/4), Extrapolation (15/8), Lionnar (9/4), Mont Beuvray (25/1), Huntsgrove (25/1), Beauforts Storm (33/1)

Verdict

No surprise were previous winners BUMBLE BEE BET and Extrapolation to come to the fore here, with marginal preference for the Charles Byrnes-trained runner given he arguably possesses more scope on this just his second start. Lionnar is the other one of interest.
