Forecasts

Ascot De Bruyere (5/2), Just Don't Ask (10/3), Tayzar (9/2), Cave Top (11/2), Clan Legend (7/1), Bernardelli (14/1), Oak Vintage (16/1), Special Catch (22/1)

Verdict

CAVE TOP has potentially more improvement in him than his rivals and won very well last time at Uttoxeter so gets the nod off a 6lb higher mark. Ascot De Bruyere, Bernardelli, and Just Don't Ask also won their respective last outings in a race with plenty of depth. All can be given a chance, while both bottom weight Tayzar and top weight Clan Legend are by no means out of it either.
