Forecasts

Glamorous Force (5/2), Cometh The Man (7/2), Qaaraat (4/1), Blue Venture (11/2), Shanghai Rock (11/2), Billy Dylan (6/1), Blackcurrent (10/1), Cool Spirit (14/1), Koropick (14/1), Wild Flower (20/1), Robustly (50/1)

COMETH THE MAN has been given a chance by the handicapper and his new yard has now put cheekpieces back on, so he might bounce back and land this weak-looking sprint. Recent-winner Glamorous Force is an obvious player if they go a strong pace and Blue Venture shouldn't be ruled out on the back of a couple of solid performances.
