Forecasts

Lenny's Spirit (15/8), Plansina (7/2), Copake (15/2), City Wanderer (8/1), City Escape (17/2), Celestial Point (9/1), Defilade (10/1), Dew You Believe (14/1), Fly The Nest (20/1), Hy Eales (100/1)

PLANSINA rattled home when second over C&D on her penultimate outing and was far from disgraced at Bath subsequently, so she gets the nod in the hope that they go a solid pace. Last-time-out C&D winner Lenny's Spirit is an obvious danger and City Escape is worth a mention dropping back to a suitable trip.
