Forecasts

Ithra (3/1), Fiscal Policy (7/2), Swiss Pride (4/1), Revision (9/2), McCauley's Tavern (11/2), Vape (11/2), Libra Tiger (17/2), Goldkit (9/1), Beautiful Surprise (40/1)

FISCAL POLICY shaped as if still in good form at Chelmsford last time and the Dan & Claire Kubler-trained gelding gets the nod ahead of Ithra, who returned to form at Lingfield a fortnight ago. Vape was front rank for a long way at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and is also considered from a reduced mark.
