Forecasts

Ten Club (3/1), Big Blue Boy (7/2), Zachary (4/1), Quantum Force (4/1), It's Showtime (17/2), Krysdanjord (12/1), Pannonica (16/1), Dancing Eyes (28/1)

ZACHARY returned to his best in a first-time hood when second at this C&D a fortnight ago, form boosted by the winner scoring again since, so he is taken to add a third course victory to his name. Big Blue Boy also ran well here on his latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Quantum Force.
