Forecasts

Braqueur D'Or (1/4), Lovely Job (13/8), Theo (7/2), Mahlers Star (4/1), Bletchley Castle (10/1), Arthur Burrell (20/1)

Lovely Job came back from an absence to score with some style at Uttoxeter and looks to have a good future over fences, but BRAQUEUR D'OR did the job in such style on Tuesday night at Stratford that, as long as the quick turnaround doesn't affect him, he looks the one to beat. His jumping was spot on and he could be called the winner some way from home. He can take this en route to better things. Theo looks unlikely to take his chance, so Mahlers Star may be the best of the rest.
