Forecasts

Leadman (8/15), Dolce Courage (7/4), Crown Board (13/2), Very Classy (50/1), Miss Motivator (50/1), Delta Legend (80/1), Darkzideofthemoon (80/1), Nashid (125/1), Pleasure Vampire (200/1), Muddy Marvellous (200/1), Eternal Sunshine (250/1)

LEADMAN ran to a good level when runner-up on both starts last summer and can overcome his long absence and make it third time lucky under Oisin Murphy. Southwell debut winner Dolce Courage is the obvious threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding newcomer Crown Board.
