Forecasts

Voi (2/1), Intoxication (9/2), St George's Bay (5/1), Just Albert (6/1), Pedestal (10/1), Jeddeyd (11/1), True Warrior (12/1), Solent Scene (22/1), Bella Colorossa (25/1), El Paco (40/1), Debbonair (66/1), Santorini Sal (80/1), Art Of America (80/1), Makter (100/1)

TRUE WARRIOR hinted at ability on the second of 3 starts in maidens and is the type to do better in this sort of lowly affair, so he receives the vote. Jeddeyd can have his latest effort at Wolverhampton easily overlooked having raced very ride, while Voi would have benefited from a stronger gallop at Southwell last time and is another to consider.
