Forecasts

Twayblade (11/4), Batchelor Boy (4/1), A Pint Of Bear (13/2), Lily In The Jungle (13/2), Kensington Agent (8/1), Media Guest (17/2), Fai Fai (9/1), Firenze Rosa (10/1), Autumn Flight (10/1), Impeach (11/1), Beauld As Brass (20/1)

BATCHELOR BOY arrives on the back of a Yarmouth success and might be able to follow up at a venue where he has a good record. Firenze Rosa is another who knows where the winning post is here and is second choice ahead of Tony Carroll's Kensington Agent, who was successful on the previous occasion she was partnered by Hollie Doyle.
