Forecasts

Aspire To Glory (9/4), Glen Heste (11/4), Falmouth Boy (7/2), Gone Like The Wind (9/2), Blow Me Away (6/1), Birkie Boy (8/1), Cherryblossom Time (12/1), Impelling (20/1), Run Joy Run (22/1), Inawe (22/1), Through The Echoes (22/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and ASPIRE TO GLORY is weighted to follow up her recent Kempton success raised just 2 lb for that improved breakthrough victory. Glen Heste chased home Alice Haynes' son of Cotai Glory that day and again rates the main danger, with Gone Like The Wind also in the mix if, as expected, building on her sixth behind the selection last time.
