Forecasts

Knebworth (7/2), Secret Moment (9/2), Bear Profit (9/2), Zaman Jemil (9/2), Justcallmepete (11/2), Hello Me (13/2), Lucky Man (10/1), Lulworth Cove (11/1), Northern Spirit (12/1), Kessaar Power (14/1), Think Climate (40/1), Ramiro (66/1)

LULWORTH COVE is well treated and left the impression that a return to form may be imminent when sixth (met trouble) at Windsor a fortnight ago, so she's worth chancing despite a wide draw. Recent Wolverhampton winner Hello Me is an obvious danger and Northern Spirit merits respect.
