Forecasts

Final Attack (11/4), Blue Whisper (7/2), Global Acclamation (9/1), Giant Steps (9/1), Christmas Night (10/1), Don'tyouwantmebaby (10/1), Luscifer (11/1), Cooperess (12/1), Bartat (14/1), Hide Your Heart (28/1), Imhotep (28/1), Empty Promises (80/1)

LUSCIFER found his good run of form coming to a halt at Southwell last time but is the type to bounce back so could be worth chancing. Final Attack was a good winner over further here 11 days ago and is the obvious threat ahead of Global Acclamation.
