Forecasts

Man On A Mission (10/3), Pablo Del Pueblo (10/3), Mick's Spirit (5/1), Lynns Boy (11/2), Nordic Glory (17/2), Yimou (11/1), Bezzas Lad (12/1), The Defiant (18/1), Storm Melody (22/1)

MAN ON A MISSION has been thriving for a while and did well in the circumstances when third at Southwell last time, so a chance is taken on him returned to the track that suits him well. Pablo Del Pueblo beat the selection here last time and is an obvious danger, while Lynns Boy can't be ruled out.
