Forecasts

Manor Park (6/5), Ayr Of Elegance (11/4), Blazing Saddles (9/2), Bold Reason (8/1), Translink (8/1), Vision Clear (14/1), Kuiper Belt (16/1)

TRANSLINK caught the eye when sixth at Market Rasen last month and this fair bumper performer looks ready to take a big step forward now going handicapping for his shrewd yard. Manor Park rates the obvious threat on the back of his wide-margin C&D success despite being raised a stone by the official assessor with in-form Ayr of Elegance appealing as the pick of the remainder.
