Forecasts

Balgair (5/2), King of Dreams (11/4), Buzz Lightyere (11/4), Spirit Of Sarwan (5/1), Fortune And Glory (10/1), Bloodsweatandtears (10/1), Deliberator (20/1), Pass The Cristal (22/1), Indus Valley (80/1)

BUZZ LIGHTYERE can go one better than when finishing runner-up over C&D last time out by registering a victory in this for local trainer Philip Hide. The selection is improving with racing this season and can take this with Balgair who is stepping back up in distance here capable of claiming second ahead of King Of Dreams who was placed on the AW on last months seasonal debut.
