Forecasts

Theonlywayiswessex (5/2), Tio Mio (3/1), Bay Of Naples (4/1), Golden Keeper (5/1), Glen Cove (13/2), Golden Dove (8/1), Prince Abu (11/1), Angel On High (33/1)

TIO MIO got right back on track when scoring here last time and looks weighted to have a big say again despite taking a 7 lb hike in the weights. C&D winner Theonlywayiswessex is next on the list with Golden Keeper also worth considering having not been seen to best effect when fifth at Chelmsford City.
