Forecasts

Soie D'leau (2/1), Iseemist (9/2), Somewhere Secret (9/2), Willytheconqueror (5/1), Union Rose (5/1), Venturous (5/1), Lathom (8/1), Signore Piccolo (10/1), Smokey Lane (12/1)

SOIE D'LEAU is taken to go one better than when finishing runner-up last time out. That effort came over this trip and with soft ground forecast today he can take this at the chief expense of Venturous who shaped with promise despite being slowly away at Doncaster last time out whilst the three-year-old Somewhere Secret can claim third.
