Forecasts
Charming Whisper (5/4), Clermont Ferrand (4/1), Bobacious (4/1), Tribal Wisdom (6/1), Sir Edward Lear (12/1), Show Biz Kid (14/1)
There's a good chance that BOBACIOUS will be allowed an uncontested lead and he is taken to regain the winning thread, having lost little caste in defeat when going down narrowly in his hat-trick bid at Windsor last month. The booking of bang in-form jockey Tom Marquand adds to his appeal. Charming Whisper did the job well over C&D last week and is greatly respected under a penalty, for all that he's far from guaranteed to get a strong pace to aim at this time. Show Biz Kid also has claims.
