Forecasts

Francophilia (11/8), Falcon's View (9/2), Pirate King (5/1), Brahms De Clermont (11/2), Flintrock (7/1), Roc Astrale (7/1), Sarim (16/1), Point Of Honour (16/1), Demophon (50/1), Khazix (50/1)

Francophilia was well supported on debut but looked likely to improve for the run over this extra distance and should be in the mix again while Flintrock also looked the type to step up from the promise of his debut. ROC ASTRALE has had one start more but has shown up well in both and just emptied late after an absence in excess of a year and should make a bold bid. Brahms De Clermont is of obvious interest after showing progressive form over hurdles while of the debutantes Sarim really catches the eye and market support would be respected.
