Forecasts

Fantastic Blue (7/2), Battle Of Wills (9/2), Mayfair Spirit (5/1), Htilominlo (11/2), Avenue Foch (13/2), Deebee (13/2), Tribal Commander (16/1), Salam Zayed (20/1), Doughan Alb (20/1), Pop The Cork (20/1), Barb's Prince (50/1)

A very open handicap with a number holding very similar chances. Avenue Foch always looked the type who would improve with time for his former stable and is very interesting up in distance. Mayfair Spirit has every chance of landing a hat-trick and is up to defying this revised mark. Htilominlo was well tried last time and this is more realistic while Battle of Wills can also improve again likewise back in class. A chance is taken that FANTASTIC BLUE will improve significantly now stepping up in distance and looks on an attractive opening mark.
