Forecasts

Drucker (13/8), Minella Mate (10/3), Umala (5/1), Riyami (15/2), Satono Chevalier (10/1), Echinacea (12/1), Louie's Folly (22/1), Derry Lad (22/1), God Of Thunder (25/1), Edge Of Darkness (50/1), Kidam Roque (80/1)

DRUCKER looks worth a try over 2m on this surface and is selected to make light of a 6 lb rise for his defeat of Satono Chevalier over 1½m here last month. Aidan Melia's charge can bounce back from a lesser effort here since and fill the forecast spot ahead of Umala.
