Forecasts

Jon Ess (4/5), Beach Bar (3/1), Reckless Lad (7/1), Pushaq (10/1), Red Avenger (14/1), Yamato (16/1), Prove The Point (22/1)

JON ESS and Beach Bar will possible go head to head right from the start here with both runners in fine form at the moment. Preference is for the former of the two who is 6lb better off for a 1½L defeat last time out though expect to see his rival fight him all the way to the line. Red Avenger and Reckless Lad can battle for third.
