Forecasts

Sun Art (11/4), Gris Majeur (3/1), Bond Broker (10/3), Batwomen (9/2), The Winslow Boy (8/1), Kay Tara Tara (12/1)

Verdict

BATWOMEN failed to build on earlier promise when third at Huntingdon last time but could still prove the way to go given she looked to find the step up to 3m beyond her and now reverts to her optimum trip on the back of a breathing operation. Gris Majeur goes well fresh so this C&D scorer could emerge as the main danger ahead of The Winslow Boy and Bond Broker.

  1. BATWOMEN (IRE)
  2. GRIS MAJEUR (FR)
  3. THE WINSLOW BOY
