Forecasts
Bowenspark (6/4), Casual Observer (13/8), Kykorock (13/8), Ostend (5/1), Galop De Chasse (6/1)
CASUAL OBSERVER has a year-long absence to overcome but he very much appeals as the type to progress further now sent chasing given his imposing physique, so he looks worth siding with to come out on top. Kykorock shaped well in his hat-trick bid from a less-than-ideal position at Haydock and is feared most with the step back up in trip unlikely to prove an issue.
