Forecasts

Border Gem (11/4), Dirty Den (4/1), Zaochen Enki (4/1), Cornish Storm (6/1), Inferno Sacree (6/1), Balboa (13/2), Vernon Subutex (22/1), Green Sky (28/1)

The fact Paul Nicholls has a good recent record in this race suggests it might be worth giving another chance to ZAOCHEN ENKI. Inferno Sacree and Dirty Den, who has a hood quickly refitted, are pretty consistent at this sort of level and should figure, while Balboa is also handicapped to have a say if stripping fitter for a recent outing at Wincanton.
