Forecasts

Potters Story (10/11), Fairlee Grey (9/4), Chti Balko (3/1), Framley Garth (50/1), Sir Luke Arno (150/1)

This looks to concern the top three, with preference for FAIRLEE GREY who will find this easier than tacking a Grade 2 at Kelso last time. As long as he settles better in front, he can see off Potters Story and Chti Balko who have both shown ability but may need to improve to challenge the selection here.
