Forecasts

The Wallpark (5/6), Fakir D'Oudairies (5/4), Kings Hill (9/4), French Dynamite (5/2), Lord Erskine (10/3)

None of these can be discounted but FAKIR D'OUDAIRIES is fancied to make a winning return with his yard going well. Course scorer The Wallpark appeals as the main danger to Joseph O'Brien's smart performer ahead of French Dynamite and Kings Hill.
