Forecasts

Evanesco (4/5), Hell Yeah He Did (4/1), Morven (9/2), Sayedaati Saadati (8/1), Hard To Believe (10/1), Boilermaker (12/1), Night Patrol (14/1), Maskatto (14/1), Corduroy (80/1), Chapman's Peak (100/1), Ethereal Charm (150/1), Fletcher (150/1)

Charlie Johnston's EVANESCO found a Group 3 event at Deauville too much last time but this fairly useful colt looks to have found a very good opportunity to get off the mark unless one of the debutants prove well out of the ordindary. Andrew Balding's Hard To Believe could prove the pick of those, although Ralph Beckett's duo Hell Yeah He Did and Morven both command lots of respect too.
