Forecasts

Hermes Allen (11/8), Il Est Francais (13/8), Giovinco (11/2), Tightenourbelts (12/1), Marble Sands (20/1), Kilbeg King (28/1)

A cracking renewal. HERMES ALLEN ran to a really high level for a chase newcomer when taking a Newbury Grade 2 on his reappearance and will be a tough nut to crack if showing up in similar form. The way Giovinco travelled at Sandown last time suggests 3m around here could be ideal for him and he's second choice ahead of exciting French challenger Il Est Francais.
