Forecasts

Royal Jewel (7/4), Scarface (4/1), Bucksy Des Epeires (7/1), Happy And Fine (17/2), Heltenham (10/1), Eaton Collina (10/1), Sheldon (20/1), Equus Dancer (20/1), Galop De Chasse (22/1), Mount Tempest (22/1), Smarty Wild (33/1)

Despite failing to make an impact in his three starts so far this season, HELTENHAM is nevertheless appealing here off a reduced mark and in a lower-grade handicap than he is typically accustomed to. Happy And Fine also arrives here pretty fresh and is feared most ahead of Bucksy des Epeires and Royal Jewel.
