Forecasts

Aces Wild (11/4), Basholo (7/2), Munificent (18/5), Hi Hoh Tonto (15/2), Jumira Bridge (9/1), Josies Kid (10/1), Hey Ho Let's Go (14/1), Mews House (14/1), Mellys Flyer (14/1), Louis Treize (25/1), Wedgewood (28/1)

Stall 10 isn't ideal for ACES WILD, but he would have pushed Bashola close had he not been significantly impeded by Hi Hoh Tonto over C&D last week and, on more favourable terms, is fancied to reverse the form and come out on top on. Basholo is respected as a last-time-out winner, while Melllys Flyer shouldn't be judged too harshly on his latest effort and could also have a say.
