Forecasts

Blue Cable (3/1), Broughtons Flare (10/3), Velvet Vista (18/5), Viola Park (4/1), Excelinthejungle (6/1), Deevious Beau (8/1), Baltic Prince (14/1), Six Strings (25/1), Don't Jump George (50/1)

BLUE CABLE IS going the right way at present and, having finished strongly when second over 6f at this course last time, he's fancied to get back to winning ways having just his second career outing over this trip. Broughtons Flare made a mildly encouraging start for his new stable last time, so he's considered as a danger along with Viola Park.
