Forecasts

Low Lie The Fields (9/4), Carrolls Cottage (3/1), R'evelyn Pleasure (5/1), La Feline (13/2), Coolbane Boy (8/1), Wavelength (9/1), Quirt Evans (12/1), Jake Peter (12/1), Oscar Montel (14/1), Sean Says (18/1), Humm Baby (25/1), The Trigger (25/1), Room To Roam (33/1), Deux Par Deux (40/1), Brogine (50/1), Insane Bolt (50/1), Heatstroke (150/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest, and LOW LIE THE FIELDS is fancied to continue his improvement and complete a hat-trick on his return from a break. R'evelyn Pleasure looks the one to chase him home with Humm Baby another who needs considering now back in this sphere.
