Forecasts

Scoop The Pot (3/1), Canyouringmeback (7/2), Powerful Symbol (9/2), Favorito Buck's (11/2), Leith Hill Lad (13/2), Belmount (7/1), Carlos Du Fruitier (14/1), Court Frontier (20/1)

Belmount is in cracking form but he is a horse that tends to peak fresh so he may struggle to defy top weight here. Favorito Buck's remains with plenty of potential in this sphere and is very much respected. Slight preference is for CANYOURINGMEBACK who may well have completed the hat-trick at Wincanton last time but for unseating late on. He can remain on an upward curve and gain some compensation here.
