Forecasts

Wild Lion (10/11), Spiritofthenorth (7/4), Willard Creek (5/1), Chadlington Lad (12/1), Biplane (33/1), Visions Of Glory (66/1), Graceful Moment (125/1), Broad Norfolk (125/1)

An uncompetitive maiden in which the returning WILD LION has much the best form on offer and is taken to defy his absence and open his account. Willard Creek shaped well when a debut third at Redcar and is next on the list, with Biplane appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
