Forecasts

United Front (7/2), Bass Player (4/1), True Statesman (5/1), Gincident (5/1), Larado (6/1), Light Up Our Stars (13/2), Ernie's Valentine (11/1), Gavi Di Gavi (14/1)

Verdict

TRUE STATESMAN ran his best race for a while when third at Chelmsford and looks interesting again now having dropped in the weights. Ernie's Valentine was all the rage in the betting starting out for this yard but struggled to get involved after a poor start here last month so is worth another chance, while Bass Player made a decent start for this yard when third here 3 weeks ago.
