Forecasts

Schmidt (4/1), Sani Pass (5/1), Back On The Bridle (13/2), Give Me A Moment (13/2), Casamari Abbey (7/1), Daring Decree (8/1), Bellgrove (8/1), Caridadi (17/2), Clody Valley (17/2), Old Town Road (22/1), Exultation (22/1), Cassells Rock (25/1), Zagnzig (25/1)

SCHMIDT has a poor strike-rate but confirmed he was back in good heart when second at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago and could end his losing run back at the scene of his only victory. Sani Pass is interesting back over 2m, while Back On The Bridle could also make her presence felt.
