Forecasts

Kupatana (5/6), Little Miss Poet (7/4), Castafiore (6/1), Blackdown Hills (16/1), Floral Bouquet (16/1)

Little Miss Poet and Floral Bouquet are worth keeping an eye on as they make their first appearance over fences, but this should go to KUPATANA, who remains promising over the bigger obstacles despite a reverse at Newbury last time. Blackdown Hills and Castafiore need to improve on their chasing debuts.
