Forecasts

Pessoa (3/1), Conquest Of Power (4/1), Pride Of Spain (9/2), Sparkling Spirit (6/1), Dors Toyboy (15/2), Back From Dubai (8/1), Ravenglass (14/1), The Toff (14/1), Bishop's Glory (28/1), Ishani (40/1), Written Broadcast (50/1), My Mate Mike (66/1)

PESSOA looked better than ever when going in over C&D recently and looks the way to go nudged up just 2 lb. Conquest of Power is feared most on the back of his good Kempton third, while Dors Toyboy and Bishop's Glory also need factoring into this open handicap.
