Forecasts

Altiepix (15/8), Dr Robin (5/2), Howlongisafoot (5/1), Azert De Coeur (6/1), Grandioso (10/1), Wings Of Smoke (20/1)

HOWLONGISAFOOT represents an in form yard here (6/14 recently) and can gain a first victory since moving stables here. The selection is very well in on his old form for Paul Nicholls and a chance is taken on the blinkers bringing about an improved performance here. Dr Robin disappointed last time out but this step up in trip should see him in a better light while top weight Grandioso can fight it out with Azert De Coeur for minor honours.
