Forecasts

Bascule (5/4), Ford Madox Brown (3/1), Heath Rise (8/1), Alvarino (10/1), Wisper (12/1), Lady Lucky Leslie (14/1), Way Of Life (16/1), Bonnie Lad (16/1), Beat The Storm (33/1), Perthshire (50/1), Blue Galaxy (66/1), Havana Lady (150/1)

BASCULE offered something to work on under considerate handling when finishing a running-on sixth at Kempton on debut. He will have learnt plenty from that and is taken to score second-time-up with improvement anticipated. Wisper will look to put her experience to good use but may have to settle for silver here, ahead of Alvarino and newcomer Way of Life.
