Forecasts

Deed Pole (9/4), Edmund Ironside (7/2), Recuerdame (7/2), Aeroplane Mode (9/2), Media Guest (8/1), Blue Curacao (12/1), Moralisa (16/1), Florence Street (18/1), Rainbow Sign (20/1), Divine Messenger (22/1), Dourado (22/1), Optimal Sinn (66/1)

AEROPLANE MODE caught the eye at Wolverhampton and could be the way to go, with confidence in him increased further if he is strong in the betting. This isn't a bad race for the level though and good cases can be made for Media Guest, Edmund Ironside and Recuerdame among others.
