Forecasts

Road To Home (4/1), In d'Or (9/2), Montregard (9/2), Havaila (5/1), Ask Brewster (11/2), Rock My Way (15/2), Resplendent Grey (8/1), Transmission (12/1), Our Power (14/1), Henry's Friend (14/1), Livin On Luco (18/1), Invincible Nao (25/1), Certainly Red (25/1), Gabbys Cross (28/1)

A case can be made for a few in a cracking renewal of the bet365 Gold Cup but Tom Lacey's likeable MONTREGARD could prove the answer freshened up after a break with this longer distance also looking a real plus. The hat-trick seeking Havaila rates a big threat though, while Kim Muir 1-2 Ask Brewster and Road To Home seem sure to be on the premises too. In D'Or completes the shortlist.
