Forecasts

Fern Hill (11/4), Patroclus (11/4), Flash Collonges (4/1), Sopran Thor (7/1), Valleres (15/2), Rapper (8/1), Beatthebullet (11/1), Grumpy Charley (12/1)

Cases can be made for the majority of these, but FERN HILL's claims are the most persuasive on the back of his most promising chase debut near miss at Uttoxeter. Beatthebullet and Sopran Thor have already won over fences but bigger threats may be posed by Grumpy Charley and Flash Collonges, both of whom can be expected to leave their chase debut efforts well behind. Valleres also warrants respect.
