Forecasts

Verdict

No Such Number just doesn't know how to stop winning, and his bold front-running performance at Uttoxeter last time out was a joy to behold. However, another rise in the weights and a slightly longer trip may leave him vulnerable late on, and if stout stayer BRAQUEUR D'OR is anywhere near off the home turn, he may be able to pick him off late. He looks the sort to keep improving over fences and can take this en route to better things. Doitforjoe looks best of the rest.
