Forecasts

Hipop Des Ongrais (3/1), The Wrekin (7/2), Seigneur Des As (9/2), Smoking Pigeon (8/1), Rocky Lake (17/2), Great D'Ange (10/1), Prevaricate (12/1), Trevada (12/1), Kabrit (12/1), Marettimo (25/1), Creative Control (33/1)

Verdict

HIPOP DES ONGRAIS quickly got back on track when third at Taunton and looks capable of defying this sort of mark. Kabrit is potentially well treated if ready to go after 7 months off so is shortlisted, while it's still early days for Rocky Lake, who is back down in class.

  1. HIPOP DES ONGRAIS (FR)
  2. KABRIT (IRE)
  3. ROCKY LAKE (IRE)
