Forecasts

Zlatan (3/1), Praxeology (16/5), Acquisitor (7/2), Sucellus (11/2), Garden Oasis (7/1), Defence Treaty (10/1), Pope Gregory (25/1), Fieldsman (40/1), Salam Zayed (66/1)

PRAXEOLOGY has won twice around here in the past, including last month over the slightly shorter 7f trip. He has a leading amateur in the saddle and plenty in his favour tonight. Sucellus has to be respected under a penalty, as does Wednesday's Catterick winner Acquisitor.
