FOREST BERRY 10/3
FOREST BERRY is the only confirmed front-runner — and this is a track where that matters: front-runners here win 2.4 times their share of these races. An uncontested lead could be decisive.
FOREST BERRY at 10/3, Sir Mark Prescott Bt and Dylan Hogan, looks the most likely of these. He won last time out and comes from a yard in good heart at 35%.
The dangers are GREEK SYMPHONY at 9/2 (went close off this mark) and MAGNESIUM at 12/1 (a course winner).
