Forecasts

Johnny Boom (13/8), Lexington Knight (5/2), Cedar Cage (11/4), Wolf Of Oxshott (17/2), Elham Valley (18/1), Bearaway (20/1), Pepsiwithacap (25/1)

JOHNNY BOOM can boast a good Wolverhampton record and back up in trip, his relative turn of foot at this level could be decisive. Cedar Cage isn't straightforward but he got the job done last week and he can be a factor again, with Lexington Knight likely to give his running again.
