Forecasts

Kap De Triomphe (8/13), Buckaway Freddie (2/1), Rose Boum (11/1), Lion City (20/1), Kellys Grove (20/1)

BUCKAWAY FREDDIE is well related and represents top connections, so he should be up to making a successful debut in what doesn't look a particularly strong race. Kap de Triomphe also makes some appeal on paper.
