Forecasts

Durbanville (15/8), Triopas (2/1), American Life (5/2), Secret Passenger (14/1), Mcvicar (28/1), Joseph Mercer (33/1), Oregon Gold (66/1)

Triopas has an obvious chance after his Towcester romp last week but this comes plenty quickly enough, and preference is for top weight DURBANVILLE, likely to do better upped in trip here and James Bowen looks an excellent booking. He remains capable of better and can cause a minor upset. American Life holds an obvious chance too, but any money for Secret Passenger would make him of some interest in a tricky little finale.
