Forecasts

Butlergrove King (7/2), Winged Crusader (5/1), Twirling Magnet (11/2), Azert De Coeur (6/1), Sunny Ledgend (7/1), Ultimatum Du Roy (8/1), Three Of A Kind (10/1), An Poc Ar Buile (16/1), Beer Goggles (20/1)

An open-looking contest in which Winged Crusader is likely to have his supporters after a facile recent win at Bangor, though this looks a deeper race. Azert De Coer had excuses for a dismal effort at Doncaster latest and would be a big danger to all if reproducing the form he showed to win at Chepstow previously, while the veteran Sunny Ledgend has shown enough to suggest there are still races to be won with him in this grade. However, if there is any value, it may lie with the lightly-raced THREE OF A KIND who was far from foot-perfect when a good fourth here on his chasing debut, leaving the impression there is much more to come from him. 1. Three Of A Kind 2. Azert De Coeur 3. Sunny Ledgend
