Forecasts

Beyond The Clouds (8/13), Pisgah Pike (11/8), Earth Spirit (66/1)

Effectively a match. BEYOND THE CLOUDS was behind Pisgah Pike when that one made a winning start over fences over C&D in June but Charlie Longsdon's charge was 4 lengths ahead of him at Uttoxeter last time and is taken to confirm that superiority on identical terms.
