Forecasts

Lady Percival (6/4), Longsider (5/2), Brasca (6/1), Vindolanda (8/1), Thunder Ahead (17/2), Humanitarian (18/1), Myboymax (66/1)

LADY PERCIVAL improved again when making it back-to-back wins at this C&D 19 days ago, pulling clear with an in-form rival, and she can go on to land the hat-trick. The main danger could be Brasca who wasn't discredited in a higher grade last time, with Vindolanda completing the shortlist.
