Forecasts

King D'Argent (5/2), Exelerator Express (7/2), Funambule Sivola (9/2), Shanacoole Prince (6/1), Shut The Box (8/1), Bridle Loanan (9/1), Doitforthevillage (20/1), Finnegan's Garden (25/1)

Preference in this competitive race is for EXELERATOR EXPRESS, who couldn't match strides with Funambule Sivola at Wetherby last month but enjoys a significant pull at the weights with that rival here. Shanacoole Prince made a positive start in this sphere on his Southwell reappearance and should have more to offer, while King d'Argent won well on chase debut at Warwick and also merits respect.
