Forecasts

Lenny's Spirit (9/2), Fozzie Bear (9/2), Intercessor (5/1), Mutaraafeq (5/1), Canagat (13/2), Mr Fustic (8/1), Delahoussaye (12/1), Meleagant (16/1), Broughtons Mission (20/1)

The hat-trick seeking LENNY'S SPIRIT is better than ever at present and had something up his sleeve at Yarmouth 13 days ago, so he makes plenty of appeal despite an 8 lb rise. Mr Fustic is an obvious player if proving just as good on turf and Delahoussaye can't be ignored on the back of a string of creditable efforts.
