Forecasts

Fouroneohfever (11/10), Castle In The Sand (9/4), Travolta (3/1), Swordstick (8/1), The Hun (10/1), Prince Rasam (10/1)

None of these can be ruled out but it's hard to side against George Boughey's progressive colt FOURONEOHFEVER who showed a good attitude when scoring here last time and can now complete a hat-trick. Travolta rates a big threat though on the back of his Wolverhampton success, with fellow handicap debutant Prince Rasam also in the picture.
