Forecasts

Jimmy Chou Pecos Aa (11/10), Wise Move (3/1), Shantwopointfive (4/1), Dunbulcan Bay (5/1), Vroomoz Eile (25/1), Masked Artist (33/1), Shantou Champagne (50/1), Belladinotte (150/1)

Form pick JIMMY CHOU PECOS AA made a good start for his new handler when runner-up at Down Royal and can go one better reverted to this sphere. Dan Skelton's Dunbulcan Bay rates a big threat though if, as expected, building on his debut Ffos Las third, with Shantwopointfive also in the picture.
