Forecasts

Woven (5/2), Intrinsic Bond (9/2), Internationaldream (15/2), Rathbone (8/1), Asjad (9/1), Air Raid (9/1), Music Society (9/1), Politics (12/1), Imperium Blue (14/1), Army Of India (14/1), Hyperfocus (22/1)

MUSIC SOCIETY starts this season on an attractive mark so Tim Easterby's likeable sprinter is taken to return in style in a tight-knit sprint. Woven arrives on a long losing run but is still feared most on the back of his good recent Doncaster second. Army of India wasn't seen to best effect at Southwell last time and is another who needs factoring in.
