Forecasts

Bezzas Lad (5/2), Good Earth (5/1), Bama Lama (11/2), Spreadsheet (6/1), Jack Ryan (6/1), Firenze Rosa (15/2), Tomahawk Ridge (10/1), Ocean Wilde (14/1)

BEZZAS LAD has quickly found his stride again back with Tony Carroll and is taken to follow up his Chepstow victory. C&D winner Good Earth lurks on a good mark and could be set for a revival, while Bama Lama and Spreadsheet, both successful last time out, must be respected also.
