Forecasts

No Ceiling (13/8), Welcome Ben (4/1), Valseur Du Granval (9/2), Little Pop (7/1), Nicolas Chauvin (11/1), Chestnut Ben (12/1), Ink Master (16/1), Blandfords Gunner (22/1)

Nicolas Chauvin bounced back to form when beating Little Pop at Wetherby last time and should confirm the form, but preference is for NO CEILING, who can be relied on to run his race and will appreciate the return to 2m and a sound surface. Valseur Du Granval and Welcome Ben also enter the equation.
