Forecasts

Redicean (7/4), Zubayr (9/2), Lord George (6/1), Final (6/1), Seafarer (13/2), Primero (8/1), Curbyourenthusiasm (8/1), Eddystone Rock (12/1)

Bottom weight REDICEAN is taken to complete a double having won over this trip at Wolverhampton last time out. The selection can get the better of top weight Lord George who is dropping in distance while third place can go to Final who ran well to place on his most recent outing.
