Forecasts

Son Of Sampers (11/8), Urban Dandy (10/3), Dark Kestrel (15/2), Gustav Graves (8/1), Zuffolo (8/1), Birkenhead (9/1), Blazing Hot (14/1), Hurt You Never (33/1)

Verdict

BIRKENHEAD is becoming well treated and shaped nicely from an unpromising position when sixth to Gustav Graves at Wolverhampton, so he's fancied to turn the tables with that rival and get back to winning ways. Blazing Hot wasn't seen to best effect last time and should make a much bigger impact on this occasion.
