Forecasts

Cruz Control (10/11), Marty Byrde (5/1), Feast (5/1), Craan Run (13/2), Dreams Of Diamonds (11/1), Stormin Crossgales (20/1), Having A Barney (25/1), Lady Amy (150/1)

CRUZ CONTROL finished in front of a subsequent winner when second in a Chepstow bumper on debut and sets a clear standard. Feast was an eye-catching fifth on his debut at Southwell and is the obvious threat.
