Forecasts

Royalraise (5/4), Port Melon (11/8), Garde Ville (11/2), Hinxworth (12/1), Barrington Bolt (66/1)

ROYALRAISE can repeat his Towcester victory by seeing off Port Melon once more. The selection had Paul Nicholls' charge a nose back in second when winning that day and the pair look likely to dominate this contest. Garde Ville has been in good form in point-to-point company and he can take third.
