Forecasts

Gunsight Ridge (85/40), Frero Banbou (5/2), Bun Doran (6/1), Dolos (10/1), Moonlighter (10/1), Tamaroc Du Mathan (12/1), Rikoboy (12/1), Hatcher (66/1)

FRERO BANBOU looked suited by the more patient tactics when producing a career-best win at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and this C&D winner is preferred to Gunsight Ridge and Bun Doran, who had a real slog when first and second over this C&D last month.
