Forecasts

Pourquoi Pas Papa (4/6), Crest Of Stars (1/1), Explode (13/8), Monsun Climate (5/1), Lydeard Girl (9/1), Anthracite (80/1), I'll Give It A Go (80/1), Dino Moon (150/1), Marhaba Million (200/1), Bee's Kiss (200/1)

Verdict

Having shown plenty to finish runner-up on both starts to date, this looks a good opportunity for expensive purchase POURQUOI PAS PAPA to get off the mark. Fairly useful Flat performer Explode appeals as a danger, particularly if the market vibes are positive on his third start over hurdles, while fair bumper winner Crest Of Stars can improve from his hurdling bow.
