Forecasts

Ink Master (5/2), Cottersrock (5/2), Abidjan (7/2), Gabrial The Great (10/1), Vikekhal (11/1), Deauville Dancer (11/1), Purple 'n Gold (18/1)

The two to concentrate on look to be the improving pair of ABIDJAN and Ink Master, both in good form and looking like they have more to offer. Ink Master will try and run the finish out of Abidjan but if the latter jumps as well as he did when winning at Warwick he will be hard to shake off, and may have a bit too much in the latter stages. Gabrial The Great may be best of the rest.
