Forecasts
Purple Gown (9/4), Jolie Coeur Allen (9/2), Inappropriate (5/1), City Of Diamonds (6/1), Ravenscraig Castle (7/1), Russian Virtue (10/1), Gemini Man (14/1), Jaminoz (20/1), Star Of Guiting (25/1)
A case can be made for most of these but RUSSIAN VIRTUE finished second in a strong race for the grade at Uttoxeter earlier in the year and having shaped as though as good as ever last time, he's fancied to land a first hurdle success since joining current connections. Purple Gown arrives in fine heart and should give another good account, while City of Diamonds makes appeal on his handicap debut.
