Forecasts

Early Retirement (9/4), Skipthescales (3/1), Little Bruce (9/2), Western Rules (5/1), Talkofgold (10/1), Allbarnone (11/1), Apachee Prince (11/1), Make Me A Fortune (16/1), Silver Dragon (25/1)

Western Rules is an interesting runner here after a lengthy absence and a 3lb drop in the ratings. Money for him may well prove to be significant, while Skipthescales and Little Bruce should both be thereabouts for Phil Kirby. However, preference is for top weight EARLY RETIREMENT. Caroline Bailey's five-year-old resumed well with a second Southwell win last time and may well be able to find enough improvement over this longer trip to defy another 7lb rise. Talkofgold is another who should be involved at the business end, while keep an eye on the market with regard to Make Me A Fortune, who has won from 7lb higher.
