Forecasts

Puerto Banus (2/1), I Could Do Better (2/1), Alexander James (9/4), Last Empire (4/1), Mina Velour (15/2), Victory Ahead (9/1), Senorita Grande (20/1), Cheam Avenue (40/1), Twentysixthstreet (50/1), Indiaro (100/1), Gatesy (100/1), Gregory The Great (100/1), Pandora's Minder (150/1)

I Could Do Better goes in search of the hat-trick but the penalties are stacking up and maybe ALEXANDER JAMES can take advantage of the 7lb he gets from him. He was very impressive on his Southwell debut and although dropping back to 6f here, that might not be an issue on the forecast soft ground. He can get back to winning ways. Puerto Banus looks the best of the rest.
