Forecasts

Chevalgris (13/8), Act Four (3/1), Ashkoun (13/2), Ruler Of The Nile (15/2), Brave Helios (9/1), Redbridge Miller (16/1), Old Magic (16/1), Barney Rubble (20/1), Taroum (25/1)

A weak contest where ACT FOUR can take advantage to record his third win in four starts. Ashkoun could be a fly in the ointment on his first start back after almost a year off, while Chevalgris is another likely to be very competitive.
