Forecasts

Are They Your Own (1/1), Darwins Fox (3/1), Decade Player (9/1), Numbercruncher (14/1), Ring Ben (14/1), Strongpoint (18/1), Churchfield Champ (20/1), Exclusive Rights (33/1), Carters Rest (40/1), Vide Cave (66/1), Ballet Marbleless (200/1)

On all known evidence this looks a match between Darwins Fox and ARE THEY YOUR OWN, and with the latter so impressive when winning at Cheltenham he may be able to follow up under conditions that c;learly suit. Darwins Fox is doing little wrong but may find the selection has a little too much pace for him. Decade Player needs to bounce back to his best, but would be a danger if doing so.
