Forecasts

The Secrets Out (5/2), Curtsy (7/2), Percy Thrower (4/1), Tojosimbre (6/1), Crucial Moment (7/1), Volturnus (12/1), Black Prince (12/1), Affair (14/1), Artic Nel (16/1), Street Jester (28/1), The Batham Boy (33/1), Hoover Fever (66/1)

Volturnus appreciated the step up to this trip last time and if stepping up on that run, he could take a hand in the finish. Curtsy is a surefire future winner and having found 2m a shade too far last time, this trip will be more to her liking and she will not lack support. Affair could be interesting stepping up in trip while Tojosimbre was a decent winner last time and he could quite easily follow up. The Secrets Out has solid credentials and is entitled to plenty of respect but CRUCIAL MOMENT gets the nod. A winner over a mile back in April, he cruised to a comfortable success over hurdles recently and is in great heart and looks poised to regain the winning thread on the level.
