Forecasts

Prime Pretender (6/4), Grizzly James (10/3), Sherborne (13/2), Clondaw Bertie (13/2), Billingsley (7/1), Valirann Gold (12/1)

PRIME PRETENDER has found one too good on each of his three chase outings to date and, in a thin race, he looks quite a straightforward choice to open his account now. Billingsley also arrives in good form and he's feared most, while Clondaw Bertie isn't taken lightly having made a positive step last time.
