Forecasts

Three Card Trick (5/2), Socru (4/1), Hunters Step (5/1), Lets Go Lucky (15/2), Steal The Scene (15/2), Bartat (9/1), Caribbean Spring (14/1), Catapult (33/1), Poetry And Art (33/1), Alfie's Angel (40/1), Bbob Alula (50/1), Crazy Spin (50/1), Cazeva Princess (80/1), Lucky Face (125/1)

STEAL THE SCENE has dropped to a workable looking mark, and with both new headgear fitted and a useful 5 lb claimer up, he makes most appeal in a trappy event. Socru has to be considered on his first start for Ivan Furtado, while Bartat has the vibe of a potential market mover with Tom Marquand booked.
