Forecasts

Cap Du Mathan (11/10), Firak (3/1), The Big Lense (7/2), Drakes Well (12/1), Cooldine Bog (25/1), Tap Tap Boom (28/1), Boughtbeforelunch (40/1)

Verdict

This switch to a hunter could be just the tonic for CAP DU MATHAN, who hasn't covered himself in glory the last twice but a reproduction of his reappearance effort in a strong Ascot handicap chase would make him very hard to beat. The Big Lense appeals most for forecast purposes ahead of Firak.

  1. CAP DU MATHAN (FR)
  2. THE BIG LENSE (IRE)
  3. FIRAK (FR)
