Forecasts

Novak (2/1), Bobby Joe Leg (7/2), Nazca (4/1), Blazing Son (11/2), Burj Malinka (10/1), Ballyare (16/1), Vixey (16/1), Sound Of Iona (66/1)

Verdict

BLAZING SON has slipped below his last winning mark and, having run well fresh before, a chance is taken on him to bounce back to form. Nazca and likeable veteran Bobby Joe Leg are feared most.
