Forecasts

Glow Worm (4/1), Formyboys (7/1), Yolo Aris (7/1), Bigz Belief (8/1), Voice Of Hope (9/1), Sea The Dawn (10/1), Cursu Mina (10/1), Amelia Jane (10/1), Potala Palace (10/1), Gunmetal Jack (12/1), Value Chain (12/1), Charlie Bassett (14/1), Ha'penny Bridge (14/1), Maymes (16/1), Som Nam Naa (20/1), Dragon Of Malta (33/1), Whatsallthatabout (50/1), Sea Breezer (100/1)

GLOW WORM has shown good form in maiden company so far and she can get off the mark on her first attempt at this distance. The selection can get the better of Potala Palace who can take second if getting a run while Formyboys can put a below par effort last time out behind him to take third.
