Forecasts

So You Know (5/2), Lynx De Thaix (11/4), Motazzen (11/2), The Bellhop (11/2), Paso Doble (8/1), Donnie Azoff (12/1), He's A Latchico (12/1), Fire Flyer (40/1)

Verdict

It may pay to concentrate on SO YOU KNOW and Paso Doble, who both made winning reappearances last season. The former gets the nod on just his second start over a trip that really should suit. He's A Latchico could be a danger, if the market expects him to leave behind a lacklustre comeback run.
