Forecasts

Sea The Casper (6/4), Silverscape (9/2), Nao Da Mais (11/2), Pillar Of Hope (12/1), Belloccio (16/1), Naval Commander (16/1), Natchez Trace (16/1), Almufeed (16/1), True Courage (18/1), Spring Glow (28/1)

SEA THE CASPER may have his quirks but he's still on the upgrade and had little chance with a classy sort at Leicester last time. There wasn't much between Silverscape and Natchez Trace here last month and they head the dangers.
