Forecasts

Cyrius Moriviere (4/1), Double W's (9/2), Gardefort (5/1), Romain De Senam (5/1), Upsilon Bleu (11/2), Yorkist (13/2), Cloonacool (11/1), Un Beau Roman (14/1)

Some decent two-milers on show here for a good prize, although plenty of them are running on ground that is not ideal for them. Romain De Senam came good at Leicester in midweek and is entitled to go close as connections bid to strike twice in quick succession, though Double W's is preferred. Malcolm Jefferson placed this genuine sort to win twice in the autumn and perhaps it was the ground that went against him at Newbury. A break will have done him good and today's conditions can see him back on song. Yorkist may be next best. 1. Double W's 2. Romain De Senam 3. Yorkist
