Forecasts

Sunchart (7/4), Grimaud (9/2), The Big Doyen (13/2), Black Heather (7/1), Any Road (9/1), Arctic Bresil (11/1), Farfromnowhere (12/1), Duke Of Leggagh (16/1), Club Manager (18/1), Jake Peter (40/1)

SUNCHART remains with potential in this sphere given his form on the Flat and looks a strong contender. The Big Doyen and Duke of Leggagh are favoured by these terms so are feared most.
