Forecasts

Pioneering (15/8), Azets (9/2), Tie A Yellowribbon (6/1), Mini Milk (9/1), Tidal Racer (10/1), Cashel (11/1), Rogue Tide (12/1), Baashiq (12/1), Divine Connection (25/1), Dover Light (33/1), Waqaas (33/1), Misu Pete (40/1), Cool Knight (50/1), Wild Animal (150/1)

TIDAL RACER is the type to keep on improving for his yard and a 3 lb rise for his Wolverhampton victory may not be enough to stop him against mainly older rivals. Azets was a little unlucky last time and makes plenty of appeal with William Buick booked. Baashiq also is worthy of consideration on his second start for Ali Stronge. Any support for Tie A Yellowribbon would be notable.
