Forecasts

Cut To The Chase (4/5), Rogue Thunder (11/2), Ballyare (15/2), Kapparis Kid (17/2), Global Effort (11/1), Starsong (14/1), Balmy Breese (16/1), Q Twenty Boy (33/1), Mr Funky Monkey (33/1)

CUT TO THE CHASE cranked it up another notch when an easy winner at Chelmsford last week and, kept to this sort of grade, he can outclass these. 6f looks Starsong's trip so she is offered as the chief threat, ahead of Rogue Thunder.
