Forecasts

Pillars Of Earth (13/8), Pablo Prince (3/1), Reeceltic (4/1), Lenny's Spirit (8/1), Pledge Of Peace (12/1), Wadacre Gogo (16/1), Libbretta (28/1), Bartholomew J (33/1), Too Shy Shy (50/1), Dawn Trouper (66/1), London (80/1), Miss Elsa (200/1)

PABLO PRINCE is less exposed than the majority at this level and it's worth taking a chance that his stamina holds now going up in trip as his latest course third was promising. Pillars of Earth should give another good account as he bids for his fourth win in his last 5 starts. Pledge of Peace and Wadacre Gogo are also on the shortlist.
