Forecasts

Bezzas Lad (2/1), True Hero (4/1), Mansfield (11/2), Qaaraat (15/2), Skontonovski (8/1), Thegreyvtrain (17/2), Lady Quickstep (12/1), Red Allure (14/1), Island Memory (33/1), Lancashire Life (66/1)

TRUE HERO has done very well on the AW this year and can get back on track after a couple of low-key runs on the turf. Mansfield and Thegreyvtrain are others to consider in a race in which few make much appeal.
