Forecasts
Samui (6/4), Buddy One (9/4), Senecia (7/2), Sandor Clegane (7/1), Intense Approach (14/1)
The return to around 3m should suit SAMUI who may prove the answer to this trappy contest. Sandor Clegane isn't the easiest to win with but is still classy and has a decent record fresh so he might be the one to give Gordon Elliott's charge most to do.
