Forecasts

Kap Vert (6/5), U Cant Be Serious (7/2), Royal Jewel (4/1), Kelce (4/1), Wicked Thoughts (5/1), Hold Your Fort (28/1)

Verdict

It's hard to pick holes in KELCE, who can usually be relied upon and a 7 lb rise for his latest Musselburgh success may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Kap Vert has taken pretty well to fences and may prove most troublesome, though U Cant Be Serious will also have a strong chance should the addition of cheekpieces help spark a return to form.
