Forecasts

Marie's Diamond (9/4), Jump The Gun (11/4), Artistic Rifles (3/1), Chichester (4/1), Home Before Dusk (10/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for all of the quintet but preference is for ARTISTIC RIFLES who wasn't seen to best effect at York last time but had been in excellent winning form prior to that and is taken to bounce back in style. Hat-trick seeking Home Before Dusk rates the chief threat with top-weight Marie's Diamond also weighted to have a say on the back of his Ayr victory.

  1. ARTISTIC RIFLES (IRE)
  2. HOME BEFORE DUSK
  3. MARIE'S DIAMOND (IRE)
