Forecasts

Boasty (7/4), Fen Tiger (6/1), Blazer Two (15/2), Lake Sand (9/1), Thunderoad (12/1), Casaruan (12/1), Catch My Breath (14/1), Paddy Elliott (14/1), Shadow Angel (16/1), Carmela Soprano (16/1), Impossiblepossible (25/1), Merweb (28/1), Supersonique (28/1), Sly Madam (100/1), Aljomaana (100/1)

Verdict

Plenty are in with a shout. BOASTY made a promising start for Ivan Furtado when runner-up at Wolverhampton last week and is weighted to go one better here. In-form Fen Tiger rates the chief threat, although Shadow Angel didn't enjoy the best of runs at Lingfield and warrants plenty of respect too eased 1 lb.
