Forecasts

Cervetto (4/7), Chola Empire (5/1), Jenson Benson (15/2), Conquest Of Power (9/1), Shot Of Love (16/1), Kessaar Power (66/1)

CERVETTO took a marked step forward when making a successful start to handicapping at Lingfield last time and had plenty to spare, so he should follow up if the race doesn't come too soon. Conquest of Power is a danger and Jenson Benson could feature if the drop back in trip doesn't catch him out.
