Forecasts

Lohengrin (1/1), Lope De Light (13/8), Wilding (6/1), Man Of Monaco (13/2), Kintaro (14/1), Favorite Boy (40/1)

LOPE DE LIGHT has shaped quite well in 2 recent outings and can make it third time lucky for a stable with a good record here. This trip should suit Lohengrin so he's second choice ahead of Charlie Johnston's Carlisle runner-up Man of Monaco.
