Betting Forecast: 4-1 Another Crick (GB), 9-2 Casa Tall (FR), 6-1 Out On The Tear (IRE), 15-2 Doukarov (FR), Le Ligerien (FR), 8-1 Katpoli (FR), 9-1 The Russian Doyen (IRE), 33-1 Jan Maat (GER), Est Illic (IRE) Race Summary: ANOTHER CRICK cashed in on some oddly generous handicapping at Wincanton 6 weeks ago and remains of interest up only 2lb. The thriving Casa Tall is next best ahead of Out On The Tear, who finished 2 3/4 lengths behind the selection at Wincanton and is 2lb better off here.
