BETTING FORECAST:

2-1 Go Fox (GB), 9-2 Jet of Dreams (IRE), 11-2 Pleasure Garden (USA), 6-1 Restandbethankful (GB), 9-1 Martalmix’jac (FR), 22-1 Peckinpah (IRE), Famoso (IRE), 40-1 Harry Hazard (GB), 80-1 Fair To Dream (GB)

RACE SUMMARY:

JET OF DREAMS shaped with encouragement over hurdles and has been allotted a generous opening mark for one that won a point easily, so he boasts strong claims of making a winning chasing debut. Go Fox is of obvious interest having bounced back to score at Fakenham and Restandbethankful could return to top form with Brian Hughes back up.
