Forecasts

Gilbert (2/1), Sunset In Paris (9/4), Come On John (7/2), Chourmo (9/2), Bbob Alula (9/1), Pink Jazz (10/1), Forever Proud (14/1), Red Hot Rose (16/1), The Game Is Up (20/1)

COME ON JOHN rates the pick of these weights so is fancied to gain a deserved victory in a tightly-knit handicap. C&D winner Sunset In Paris rates a big threat however, while Bbob Alula, Chourmo and Gilbert all need factoring in too.
