Forecasts

Kingston King (3/1), Master Tradesman (9/2), Lily Glitters (11/2), Bomber's Moon (11/2), The Late Legend (10/1), Sign Of War (10/1), City Never Sleeps (11/1), Little Peachey (11/1), Lord Getaway (16/1), Whitechurch (40/1), Carrig Coch (50/1)

A few with chances, but MASTER TRADESMAN figures on a good mark nudged up only 1 lb for his excellent Newton Abbot second so is taken to gain his breakthrough victory. In-form Bomber's Moon also arrives in search of his first success and seems sure to go well again with his yard in great nick, Ffos Las runner-up Kingston King is 5 lb "wrong" in the weights but still warrants plenty of respect.
