Forecasts

Batchelor Boy (9/4), Voodoo Ray (5/2), Bernard Spierpoint (9/2), Lilkian (5/1), Lethal Angel (15/2), Blue Curacao (12/1), Dazzerling (16/1)

BERNARD SPIERPOINT didn't enjoy the rub of the green when ninth at Beverley last time and this C&D scorer can bounce back in style to bag a fourth success here. Voodoo Bay can also boast course-winning form so is feared most off a handy-looking mark ahead of in-form Lilkian.
