Forecasts

The Resdev Way (7/2), Steel Helmet (9/2), My Brother Jack (5/1), King Charles (6/1), Chief Craftsman (15/2), Fighting Poet (10/1), Crossbeau (12/1), Quiet Thunder (18/1), Peruvian Summer (20/1), Harmonious (22/1), Adaayinourlife (33/1), Clooney (40/1), Hartside (150/1)

FIGHTING POET reacted well to blinkers when second at Lingfield last time and might be capable of going one better now if the headgear works again. Chief Craftsman was never in it at Beverley last time but had shaped quite well at Carlisle prior to that and could be a threat if back to that form. The step back up in trip should suit the unexposed Crossbeau who completes the shortlist.
