Forecasts

C'Est No Mour (5/2), Hollywood Road (10/3), Thames Knight (7/2), Tobouggaloo (4/1), Whinging Willie (9/2), Cotton Club (8/1), Safira Menina (12/1), Star Of Lombardy (14/1), King of Dreams (16/1), Roy Rocket (33/1)

Verdict

Hollywood Road comes here with a good chance off a decent weight, while the booking Derek O'Connor can only be seen as a positive. Similarly, Simon Walker is an advantage in the saddle for C'est No Mour, twice a winner over shorter this season and coming here having shown a good aptitude for this test at Newmarket recently. Whinging Willie, a regular at the track, and Star Of Lombardy are worth a look but this can go to TOUBOUGGALOO, a rather unfortunate loser last time. She was destined to complete a Chepstow hat-trick when equipment gave way and the saddle slipped inside the final furlong. Clearly thriving, she's off the same mark here and can atone.
  1. Tobouggaloo
  2. Hollywood Road
  3. C'est No Mour
