Forecasts

Grand Duchess Olga (9/4), Young Endless (5/2), Doublethetrouble (10/3), Natacata (11/2), Pourquoi (11/1), Longuerue (22/1), Man Of Riddles (33/1), Silver Bobbin (200/1)

Though still a maiden following 20 attempts on the level, DOUBLETHETROUBLE was firmly knocking on the door prior to a below par effort when returning from a seven-week break at Southwell. He will have every chance if he puts his best foot forward here. Natacata is on a workable mark and she is second choice ahead of Grand Duchess Olga and Young Endless.
