Forecasts

Fascinating Lips (11/4), Platinum Prince (9/2), Who Cares Wins (11/2), Pillars Of Earth (13/2), Allowed (10/1), Azets (11/1), Classy Dame (12/1), Sunshine Fun (12/1), Alicestar (14/1), Accrington Stanley (16/1), Kingson (25/1), Parikarma (33/1), Violet's Lads (50/1), Eventful (200/1)

A host in with chances but PILLARS OF EARTH gets the verdict to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts. Laura Pearson's claim more than negates a 2 lb rise in the weights and William Stone's charge looks sure to be in the mix once again. Gary Moore looks to have a couple of strong fancies and his Fascinating Lips is marginally preferred for second ahead of Platinum Prince.
