Forecasts

Square Du Roule (11/10), Mask Of Zorro (4/1), Bitsnbuckles (9/2), Lelantos (9/2), Lady Caro (9/1), Chedington's Guest (10/1), See The Green (12/1), It's A Breeze (12/1), I Am Spider Man (22/1), The Italian Fox (25/1), Face d'Music (28/1), Milan Ac (50/1)

The pick of several viable candidates is SQUARE DU ROULE, who opened his account at Exeter last month and subsequently found himself with too much to do when fourth over this C&D. He is unexposed as a stayer and again has the services of Harry Cobden. See The Green has been knocking on the door of late and will be a threat if responding well to the new headgear, while Bitsnbuckles, Lelantos and the Tizzard-trained duo Mask of Zorro and The Italian Fox are others to consider.
