Forecasts

Critical Thinking (11/4), Regal Eagle (10/3), De Little Engine (5/1), Fly The Nest (6/1), Caballero (8/1), Leo Davinci (10/1), Steal The Scene (12/1), Bint Dandy (12/1), Sommer Katze (14/1), Waqaas (22/1), Shortbackandsides (50/1), Lady Monica (100/1)

DE LITTLE ENGINE looked a bit unlucky when just failing to get up at Lingfield earlier this month and is taken to go one better now. Fly The Nest could be sharper with a recent comeback run behind him and is respected having knocked on the door off similar marks earlier in the year. Leo Davinci arrives in form and is also on the shortlist.
