Forecasts

Bare Grils (6/4), Mick's Spirit (7/2), Scale Force (8/1), Nagasaki Dream (9/1), Shamshon (9/1), Cuban Breeze (10/1), Amasova (12/1), Autumn Trail (16/1), Not Now Zeb (18/1), Equally Fast (33/1), Paymaster (50/1)

MICK'S SPIRIT hasn't had the rub of the green back in handicaps since winning a novice at Lingfield and remains of interest having been eased 3 lb. Bare Grils's form has taken off since switched to AW, winning 3 of his last 4 starts here, so he is the obvious threat ahead of the veteran Shamshon.
