Forecasts

Gurkhali Warrior (15/8), Captain Kane (2/1), Cicely (5/1), Foshan (9/1), Copperplate (9/1), Mintnthat (12/1), Festival Of Light (25/1), Franklin Saint (33/1), Beerenberg (40/1), My Rosa's Gold (125/1), Luv U Mum (150/1), Spirit Of The Age (150/1)

CAPTAIN KANE has raised his game of late and, with a 4 lb rise for his last-time-out C&D success fair enough, he is taken to complete the hat-trick. Cicely failed to fire at Lingfield on her latest start, but she's 2-2 here and will be a danger to all if on-song. Gurkhali Warrior is also on the shortlist, while handicap debutant Copperplate will be of interest if the market speaks in his favour.
