Forecasts

Stole The Show (11/8), Benbecula (5/1), Zulu Oscar (6/1), Whatthebutlersaw (6/1), The Black Squirrel (13/2), Chato (11/1), Garde Forestier (14/1), Celestial Path (16/1), Itsamanslife (20/1), Flo'sboy Sam (40/1)

Verdict

Better is expected of Chato at some point. This is just his second run in a handicap and has time on side. Garde Forestier goes up in trip today and has shaped like it may suit a few times. Stole The Show won on first start for his new yard at Fontwell last week and will be a big player once again. The selection is THE BLACK SQUIRREL who looks to have been saved for a summer campaign and is interesting going up in trip on handicap debut with Richard Johnson booked.
