Forecasts

Starkie (15/8), Ypsilanti (3/1), Unzing (4/1), Ifandbutwhynot (6/1), Double Treasure (6/1), Contre Tous (13/2)

A relatively competitive heat and Starkie will be a popular choice for many hailing from the in-form yard of Chris Gordon but t he’s never been the most consistent and at short odds it may pay to look elsewhere. The youngster Contre Tous looks to have obvious potential if he can finish off his races better and Unzing clearly enjoys his visits here but YPSILANTI could well still have improvement left in him over fences and gets the vote coming back from a break.
