Forecasts

Wolf Moon (1/3), Galactic Charm (11/4), Walkingtheline (16/1), Gregorians Star (20/1), Dartmouth Rose (33/1), Snitterfield (200/1)

A potential match between GALACTIC CHARM and Wolf Moon, with preference for the former who quickly got back to form in a more suitable grade when finishing runner-up at Sandown 11 days ago. Ben Pauling's 5-y-o is open to further improvement, but conceding 10 lb to the selection may well prove beyond him. Hurdling-debutante Walkingtheline rounds off the shortlist.
