Forecasts

Bless Him (13/8), Ulshaw Bridge (13/2), Raise The Roof (8/1), Vafortino (17/2), Zip (17/2), Spartan Fighter (9/1), Oso Rapido (11/1), Dutch Decoy (11/1), Ostilio (16/1), Tommy Taylor (25/1), Swiss Ace (66/1)

Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout. SPARTAN FIGHTER is always to be feared here and arrives at the top of his game too so is fancied to bag a seventh win at the track. Ulshaw Bridge is feared most on the back of his own recent C&D victory, with Bless Him weighted to go well too.
