Forecasts

Sixcor (13/8), Blazing Hot (3/1), Tanasoq (9/2), Classy Al (9/2), Bridgetown (11/2), Latin Five (7/1), Quanah (7/1), Summer Heights (18/1), Grandads Best Girl (50/1)

A tight-knit sprint in which LATIN FIVE is fancied to defy a 5 lb rise in the weights and follow up his recent Ripon success. C&D winners Sixcor and Tanasoq appeal as the duo to give Paul Midgley's 5-y-o most to do and can chase him home in that order.
