Forecasts

Kick On Kick On (13/8), Another Angel (4/1), Show Me A Sunset (11/2), Zulu Zander (6/1), Heer We Go Again (13/2), Ballyare (7/1), Agent Shiftwell (10/1), Dazzling Des (10/1), Poyle Vinnie (16/1), Spirit Power (25/1), Tanasoq (40/1)

An open sprint. KICK ON KICK ON was scuppered by the draw at Lingfield last time and gets a tentative vote as his C&D second prior to that suggested he's capable of snapping his losing run soon. Ballyare, another who didn't enjoy the rub of the green last time, Zulu Zander and Another Angel are also on the shortlist.
