Forecasts

Main Defender (8/11), Champagne Cocktail (10/3), Gimmeanotherchance (6/1), The Africa House (16/1), Wyzeact (22/1), Barbaresco (25/1), Princeofgreen (28/1), Hotarubi (33/1), Royal Edition (40/1)

Verdict

MAIN DEFENDER has very good form claims and looks to have been let in lightly. Gimmeanotherchance is just about preferred for second, while Champagne Cocktail is one to bear in mind too.

  1. Main Defender8/11
  2. Gimmeanotherchance6/1
  3. Champagne Cocktail10/3
