Forecasts

Volenti (11/4), Cusack (3/1), Rebecca's Girl (4/1), Wyvern (5/1), Paris Lights (13/2), Drafted (22/1), Royal Blaze (25/1), Mambha (28/1), Bird Of Play (33/1)

Verdict

VOLENTI didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a recent C&D third and can bag a fourth C&D victory now off an unchanged mark. Cusack also goes really well round here and is next on the list ahead of another course scorer Rebecca's Girl.

  1. Volenti11/4
  2. Cusack3/1
  3. Rebecca's Girl4/1
