Forecasts

Souriyan (10/3), Ckalco Des Loges (4/1), Desert Sensation (9/2), Beau Du Brizais (8/1), Zanstra (8/1), Rothman (8/1), Ayla's Emperor (14/1), Foxy Act (16/1), Tanit River (20/1)

A few of these will need to come back to form or build on recent runs to take a hand here and it may be best to rely on the recent winning form as the best guide here. Ckalco Des Loges could well be an improver but he did look a little fortunate last time and SOURIYAN gains the vote despite the hefty rise he has been saddled with for his Uttoxeter romp. Beau Du Brizais has a chance to set forward with the hopes of Desert Sensation pinned on softer ground and a change of headgear. Ayla’s Emperor has the services of a good young claimer and has a chance to improve on her Fontwell third last time.
