Form: 62102-3

Forecasts

Able Kane (3/1), Global Esteem (10/3), Dancinginthewoods (5/1), Gambon (13/2), Little Boy Blue (7/1), Spanish Star (8/1), Recall The Show (16/1), Triggered (25/1), Green Power (50/1)

ABLE KANE is threatening to come good, bouncing back to something like his best when runner-up to Dancinginthewoods over C&D despite not being seen to maximum effect, and he's taken to reverse the placings with that rival. Little Boy Blue got the better of Global Esteem with Spanish Star (first run in 6 months) back in third at Ascot recently and all 3 could have a say.
