Forecasts

Victory March (6/5), Skye Breeze (7/4), Isle of Wolves (7/1), Hildenley (14/1), Peripeteia (18/1), Glittering Choice (25/1), Gift Of Raaj (28/1), Bobba Tee (40/1)

VICTORY MARCH completed the hat-trick in comfortable fashion at Wolverhampton 6 days ago so a 5 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent the 4-timer. Skye Breeze resumed progress when off the mark at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago and is the obvious threat.
