Forecasts

The Bay Warrior (6/4), Final Fantasy (10/3), Complexo (4/1), Blue Beret (10/1), Doonbeg Farmer (11/1), Lanika (14/1), Blue Galaxy (16/1), Silver Screen Star (28/1), Forza Del Destino (50/1)

THE BAY WARRIOR pulled clear of the others when runner-up to a well-treated sort at Wolverhampton and should make another bold bid up 3 lb. Final Fantasy is the obvious threat as she bids for a hat-trick, while Silver Screen Star wasn't seen to best effect on handicap bow/return at Kempton and remains with potential.
