Forecasts

Stay Smart (10/3), Nordic Glory (4/1), Gustav Graves (4/1), Urban Dandy (9/2), Mucky Mulconry (6/1), Dicko The Legend (6/1), Bankrupt (8/1), Street Life (8/1), Mutabaahy (16/1), Close Of Play (40/1)

NORDIC GLORY overcame a slow start to score at Lingfield 19 days ago and he remains well treated on old form, so he's marginally preferred to fellow last-time-out winner Bankrupt. Mucky Mulconry could also feature if blinkers perk him up.
