Forecasts

Task Force (1/1), Kingswood Flyer (9/2), First Encore (7/1), Enpassant (7/1), Cajetan (14/1), The Smiling Wolf (16/1), Wonderful Lives (18/1), Hedge Fund (22/1), Tactical Control (50/1), Sunny Corner (80/1), Dash Power (80/1)

Ralph Beckett's TASK FORCE catches the eye on paper and holds an entry in Doncaster's Group 2 Champagne Stakes so is taken to go in at the first time of asking. First Encore looks to have more to offer so rates the pick of those with experience ahead of Kingswood Flyer and Enpassant who can fight it out for minor honours.
