Forecasts

Belo Horizonte (4/5), Shabs (4/1), Adace (11/2), Twistaline (8/1), Hanoverian King (18/1), Angel De Luz (20/1), James Bradley (28/1), The Grey Bandit (33/1), Fast Flo (40/1), Heerathetrack (40/1), Lincoln Red (40/1), Lite And Airy (100/1)

BELO HORIZONTE is on the up and scored with ease at Lingfield 3 days ago, so he's a confident choice to complete the hat-trick. Fellow last-time-out winner Adace is the main danger and Twistaline should give her running.
