Forecasts

Morty (2/1), Brazen Arrow (7/2), Sword Exceed (9/2), Knockabout Queen (8/1), Tell'em Nowt (17/2), Della Mare (10/1), Bernard Spierpoint (10/1), Julie Johnston (16/1), Perfect Symphony (25/1), Physics (33/1), Ocean Wilde (66/1), Mercers (125/1)

MORTY bounced back to score cosily at Wolverhampton 3 days ago and, provided the race doesn't come too soon, he should take all the beating in a race that lacks depth. Julie Johnston is of some interest down in grade and Brazen Arrow can't be discounted for all he's not the most reliable.
