Forecasts

Flying Secret (18/5), New Pursuit (4/1), Spy (4/1), Kaasirr (11/2), Pub Crawl (17/2), Swilcan Bridge (10/1), Lost Of Love (10/1), Shabbab (12/1), Fozzie Bear (14/1), Travesuras (16/1)

SPY showed the benefit of a gelding op when opening his account at Wolverhampton and still looks ahead of his mark despite being upped 4 lb for that all-the-way win. Handicap-debutant Pub Crawl has more to offer and rates the chief threat, although Swilcan Bridge also needs considering on his turf bow along with course-scorer New Pursuit.
